Produktinfo:
Howie Beck introduces a new spaciousness and a remarkably surefooted, classic-pop polish to the music, but not at the expense of the whispered, 4 a. m. intimacy and naked honesty that led so many to hold Hollow so close to their damaged hearts. It's a bedroom record that has graduated beyond the typical sonic trappings of the bedroom, proving that one can write and sing - as Beck self-deprecatingly puts it - "songs about loneliness, love, death and betrayal" (and girls; Howie loves his girls) from a vivid, up-close-and-personal point of view while still aspiring to the pristine, three-dimensional audio environments that encourage listeners to sink into the material with new ears again and again. Guest appearances by chums like Feist ("I Need Light") and Ed Harcourt ("Don't Be Afraid") and artistically adventurous forays into bossanova, waltz-time folk and gleaming New Wave pop likewise haven't compromised the disc's pronounced sense of self nor its authentic, right-here-right-now urgency. On howie beck, one still unmistakably hears the articulate, unaffected voice of Howie Beck. It's just a more confident, nuanced and disciplined instrument, and one well placed to finally carry Beck's work to the wider audience it sorely deserves.

Rezensionen
D. Vujanic in stereoplay 3/06: "Die Musik des Singer/Song- writers aus Kanada ist von strahlender Schlichtheit. Fein- gliedrige Melancholie umgibt gelungene Songs wie "Some- times" oder "Zombie Girl". Jedoch überzeugen die schnör- kellosen Songs zu jeder Zeit." N. Abou-Aly in Audio 3/06: "Die 13 Songs dieses kanadi- schen Ex-Tellerwäschers sind echt gelungen. Zwar setzt Mr. Beck auf schmeichelnde, simpel-melodische Songs mit softem Folk-Touch, verziert seine intimen, etwas verwaschen klin- genden Lieder aber liebe- und fantasievoll mit Hörnern, Claps und Glöckchen."- Tracklisting
