CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description 2010 release, the fifth album from the British singer/songwriter. The Alphabet of Hurricanes, an album in two parts, is McRae's most ambitious album to date, recorded over three years in studios, hotel rooms, and backstage both in the U.S. and UK. Having set up his own studio, Gunpoint, in east London, McRae has been taken charge of the production once again, with his haunting melodies and poetic lyrics given a new sonic palette in an eclectic selection of powerful songs.

CD ReviewsAnother great and underappreciated album D | 04/04/2010 (4 out of 5 stars) "Tom McRae must have more of a following in his home country than he has here, but after quietly making excellent albums for all these years, it's a real shame that he isn't much better known in the American indie music scene. His music may not be progressive or utterly brilliant, but he does the singer/songwriter thing so consistently well that I still admire him as one of my favorite musicians. And "Alphabet of Hurricanes" may not be his best work, but with songs as beautiful as "Summer of John Wayne" and "American Spirit" - and "Please", which is the album's masterpiece and one of my favorite songs of the past several years - it's as deserving of our attention as any of his past albums.
I can sit down at work, click on McRae's name on my iPod, and spend a few hours listening to nearly his whole body of work, hardly skipping any tracks. And this album fits into that collection nicely. I only hope that other people discover his music and realize what they've been missing." |
