Review

Uncut (p.102) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t covers much stylistic ground and many sonic textures, but the sweeping, psychedelic groove of 'Duo Glide' and the breathless Garth Hudson piano improv on 'Lovechild' impress most."
Q (Magazine) (p.135) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[With the] songs revolving with quiet, Dire Straits-ian grace around a pedal-steel guitar, while a variety of vocalists take his musical atmospherics and run with them."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he album has a rich panoply of ambient textures....It's top quality stuff..."

Title Note

The fifth album by respected reverb-wrangler and composer Daniel Lanois functions as both a stand-alone recording and the soundtrack to the 2007 film of the same name. (The deluxe version contains both, on two discs.) Aside from two spoken-word tracks culled from an illuminating conversation with Brian Eno, the rest is Lanois at his mellow best. The usual cinematic sweep and drama of his previous work has been taken down a notch here and replaced with quiet, dignified rocking and subtle voice work that recalls Richard Hawley. This humble entry in Lanois's catalog will please fans, whether they get the opportunity to see the film or not.

Editorial Reviews

TOWER.COM REVIEW

Album Review

"Here Is What Is" is a sonic journey that captures the art of making a record by one of the most distinctive and celebrated producers of our time. Directed by Adam Volick, Adam Samuels and Lanois, the film debuted at the 2007 Toronto Film Festival and offers viewers a rare chance to see Lanois at work behind a soundboard. The film opens up with a timeless piano performance by Garth Hudson (of the Band), one of Canada’s finest pianists. Lanois then journeys from Toronto to Los Angeles to Shreveport, LA where he joins drummer Brian Blade's father at the Zion Baptist Church for a roaring rendition of "This May Be The Last Time". The film also journeys with Lanois to Morocco where he and mentor Brian Eno reminisce and record U2 in a stunning courtyard.
