专辑简介

Jeff Murphy, from the perenial band SHOES, ventures out on his own in this first solo CD. This 11-song collection was self-produced and engineered at home, in the spirit of the first McCartney album, Emitt Rhodes early works and Todd Rundgren's "Something/Anything". Foregoing the use of sequencers, drum machines and the "cut and paste" mentality that dominates much of today's music. Murphy plays all of the instruments on "Cantilever" and returns to the days of real, organic instruments actually played by a human being instead of being programmed and triggered by a computer. The end result is a return to the feel and mood of early works by SHOES with a more stripped-down sound that really allows the melodies and individual instruments to show through.
