Storytelling is a universal human instinct.<br />
Biographies of the recently deceased are the<br />
saddest form of storytelling that most people will<br />
ever know. Albums, like the various camera<br />
angles of the funeral eulogy, are like scenes of a<br />
movie. Albums are the writer's chance to tell a<br />
story ten times over, from ten different angles, to<br />
ten different melodies.<br />
Eulogies' Peter Walker does just this on the<br />
band's debut collection. With his voice dipped in<br />
reverb, he gently reminds us of the pre-histrionic<br />
honesty of Elvis at Sun Studios. With Chris<br />
Reynolds' drums pulsating at his back, Tim<br />
Hutton's typewriter-like bass notes keeping<br />
things uncomplicated, Walker lays out his ten<br />
scenes.<br />
"We're all swimming in the bottles of our own<br />
accord," he intones in "Can't Relate." Elsewhere,<br />
in "Under the Knife," he confesses, "pleasure<br />
comes without control …I’m scared to love what<br />
death can touch." Another song, “Useless<br />
Amends” tells a lot in its title alone.<br />
As in his previous recordings, Walker’s <strong>new</strong><br />
compositions, while not noticeably sombre<br />
musically, are imbued with an underlying darkness.<br />
Yet this darkness for him is illuminated as the<br />
music is created, whether in studio or on stage<br />
“The themes may be dark, but the end result for<br />
me – the process – is very bright.”<br />
