Untitled #23 is a new masterpiece from The Church in my opinion. While every
Church band offering produces something really unique and wonderful, this is the
first album to come as close to my heart as the much loved PriestAura. Untitled
#23 is a real solid collection of songs, each one unique yet belonging together,
its a album that will grow with you, it might take a few listens but then all of
a sudden youre arrested by it. Two clear favourites of mine that I cherish: the
beautiful Operetta, a song that Steve Kilbey sings so movingly and then there’s
the atmospheric Sunken Sun with its chiming cowbells tolling in the distance and
sounding like a ship’s bell in the mist and Steve Kilbey’s voice really comes
into its own. Lunar has drop-dead guitar magic, there’s loads of sparkly guitar
on the whole album and Tim Powles great drum rhythms present throughout though I
think they’ve swapped instruments at times. I keep hearing comparisons from the
Byrds to George Harrison and Pink Floyd (yes, there are echoes in there) but
The Church have their own inimitable and distinctive style that just cannot be
copied.
I found myself stopping still in my tracks to listen to this album with
awe every time a magic moment appeared (and there are many on this album). Cant
wait for them to tour the States in June (a full electric tour I heard) and show
the Americans what we Aussies had to ourselves last month. Happenstance is a
sexy number endowed with slide guitar and ebow and the bass line, cello and
harp in Pangaea made this a worthy single - both two starters that get you in
the groove. Anchorage has dark, dramatic undertones.
I think fans will be
jumping up and down about this one, and the electric lovers will get to rock
out to the dynamic Deadmans Hand (reminder of Roman) and the vibrant Space
Saviour.
With a nod and a wink, I take my hat off to Kilbey and his band for
this amazing collection. Don’t deny yourself the recent eps either - Pangaea ep
(also has a song each by Marty Willson-Piper and Peter Koppes) and a 17 minute
epic called So Love May Find Me and then the Coffee Hounds ep that bears a
great cover of Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love song – it’s a fabulous, extraordinary
time to be a Church fan. Music lovers will rejoice, yeah there’s more out there
than you can imagine.
