Chillingly beautiful,
This review is from: Tom McRae (Audio CD)
Stunning! An album that can't fail to draw you in. Each song is its own and perfectly in place. Tom McRae's streaming vocals are alluring and seductive, they induce a sense of life and wrap around you, whilst piercing you with its sinster, haunting tones. I had only heard 'you cut her hair' and 'draw down the stars' when I bought this album, but was immediately impressed by 'end of the world news', 'bloodless', 'the boy with the bubblegun', and 'Sao paulo rain'. If anyone has found artists of a similar style please let me know! This is an album to be cherished.

I've had the pleasure of seeing Tom live twice and it is amazing how beautiful his voice is. Everyone needs to own something by Tom McRae. His lyrics are chilling, haunting, and sincere. BUY THIS NOW!!!

Moody and compelling,
By giovanni (Greece) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tom McRae (Audio CD)
On his first major music release , McRae impresses with the personal character of his songs and his sharp , haunting lyrics ( " if words could kill / i'd spell your name / if songs could kill / this one is for you ... " ) . His albums contains all these special elements which can make an artist an underground cult figure and a secret hero to all the people who'll manage to dive deep into his work .Generally this is a melancholic piece of music . McRae never sounds happy or smiles although " Draw Down The Stars " and " Language Of Fools " do send out a tender sweetness . Most of the tracklist is cold and interesting . " Dose Me Up " , " One More Mile " and " Sao Paolo Rain " are all psychedelic , acoustic diamonds yet it's " Cut Her Hair " with it's sense of threat and fear that stands out as the album's true highlight . The only tracks which don't make it are the mild " 2nd Law " and " Bloodless " . Unlike , let's say Portishead whose drama becomes one with the listener almost immediately , on that track he simply sounds too bitter to connect with , singing lines like " satisfied with a knife in your spine ? " and isolating himself from his audience . One more section McRae has to pay more attention to is his perfomances . He has that ghostly , spooky quality when he murmurs and whispers which is undeniably so affecting but when he reaches high notes he sounds too intense and not as charming as he would like to . Overall McRae has released a striking first album . Although most of his ballads feel distant at first and in a way , locked into their own private universe they grown on you as time goes by .
