Slumping in Your Murals
By Vish Khanna
Flying under the radar, Halifax's Share have quietly been building up to Slumping in Your Murals,
a mature, roots-tinged pop achievement. Singer/guitarist Andrew Sisk
possesses a unique perspective on instability, conjuring songs about
unrest in a hazy voice that places Share somewhere between the Sea and
Cake and Wintersleep. But there's a rural bent to his approach that
works on a folk level — like songs sung around campfires backed by
cinematic soundtracks. Just as something like "Date & Time" plays
at pop sophistication, integrating a variety of sounds for something
haunting, there are thoughtfully low-key moments like the Jenn Grant
duet "Maybe Always," where hopefully forlorn voices are tucked in under
a blanket of ambience provided by Share and the lap steel of guest Mike
Feuerstack (Snailhouse). Overseen by In-Flight Safety's Daneil Ledwell,
Murals has a rich murkiness that suits this latest line-up of an
ever-shifting band, discovering their most effective configuration.
Tastefully compelling, Share stand tall on this wondrous new record. Click on this link to read the accompanying interview
