David Grubbs - The Thicket
Review by Ranjith Kumar
David Grubbs' latest album, The Thicket, offers a complex and introspective musical journey that blends elements of folk, rock, and experimental music. The album is a testament to Grubbs' musical prowess and his ability to create a captivating and atmospheric soundscape that draws the listener in from the very first track.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "The Bonapartes of Corsica," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Grubbs' intricate guitar work and poetic lyrics are complemented by the subtle use of percussion and strings, creating a sense of depth and complexity that is carried throughout the entire album.
As the album progresses, Grubbs explores a range of themes and emotions, from the introspective "Creep Mission" to the more upbeat and energetic "The C in Certain." Each track is a unique exploration of sound and emotion, with Grubbs' distinctive voice serving as the perfect guide through the thicket of sound and emotion.
