| There’s a faint
whiff of pretension around Blackwood, South
Wales’ Songdog: their overtly lyrical approach
(the word count here easily rivals Alanis
Morissette), their adoption of a Japanese poetic
form for an album title, and their skeletal,
Dylanesque approach to a melody. To balance that
accusation, songwriter and vocalist Lyndon
Morgans’ efforts certainly bear close scrutiny;
the richly observed dissection of ‘The Girl On
The Escalator At HMV’ for instance tells the
listener more than we’d like to know about both
the girl and her secret observer. ‘Haiku’
certainly isn’t an album that appeals instantly,
allow it to grow though and the lives of its
characters will surely infiltrate yours; in
retrospect, Songdog’s approach is exactly right.
They will suffer the brickbats in the certain
knowledge that they have created a deathless
album. |
