CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Based in Stillwater, Oklahoma, the band has been playing music together for over five years, but only recently adopted the name Other Lives. With an organic, orchestrated sound that incorporates elements of Progressive Rock, Folk and classical music, Other Lives draws its inspiration from a similarly wide array of sources: from historical events to the landscape in which the members grew up. Recorded with producer Joey Waronker (Beck, the Eels, Lisa Germano) and engineer Darrell Thorp (Radiohead, Outkast, Beck). Similar CDsSimilarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsO Sweet Melancholy Dr. Debra Jan Bibel | Oakland, CA USA | 04/07/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "Other Lives, a band arising from Kunek, whose recording Light of the Flynns was issued in 2006, now delves more deeply into wistfulness. The inclusion of a cello, itself having a sorrowful, somber, humanlike timbre, helps cement the unique sound and feeling of this different rock band. The three years between albums have matured the group with more assured playing and arrangements. And what sound is that?, you may ask. Take the orchestral rock sound of the Moody Blues, throw in the melancholy sensitivity of Tim Buckley and Leonard Cohen (OK, my reference point is the 60's; I'm ancient), and steep it all in the sweet yearning of a romantic Russian classical composer or a Parisian torch song. The songs are fairly brief; the titles suggest nostalgia, loneliness, temporality, and fatalism: the album even begins with "E Minor"! I wonder what the band would do with uplifting anthems or a frolic. But that will be something for them to explore later. Meanwhile, here is most interesting, indeed beautiful, album to enjoy."
