"My first genuine effort in making solo music after a life as a session musician and member of a band. Inspired by film scores of the 80's and featuring me on drums and synths."
The dramatic rushes and repose of "Mind the Sea Wall" by Nashville multi-instrumentalist, drummer Jerry Roe (current drummer / bassist of Friendship Commanders) tells a story in 3 acts, cinematically drawn in layered shades of illuminations and darkness. The track burns on airy guitar notes that fall into dissonant places, counterposed synth lines, heavy bass reflections, super moody drumming and other orchestrations of sounds. The overall sense to me feels psychedelically heavy, even the lighter moments have tensions, danger waiting around corners, eventually the sense of foreboding engulfing you. Some of the pulsations of sound might suggest future spacecrafts in space, other sonic nods might feel like 70's psych rock. I am feeling a cool amalgam of artists like Pink Floyd, The Alan Parsons Project and Porcupine Tree.
Great stuff.
