Review: Chris Murphy – The Red Road
This was a fun listen! Admittedly, we all need some more fun in our lives, particularly when it comes to music. Murphy opens with the chugging, string focused ‘I Never Learned To Drive’, a track that emulates its topic in an imaginative way – to its merit. In fact, all the tracks on this EP are string driven. The title track jumps into life as Murphy starts to sing, with short, staccato strings pushing the track to its chorus, with fast paced lyrics kicking in and a complex rhyme scheme that is more than intriguing. The track ‘The Complete Works Of Edgar Allan Poe’ is a highlight, allowing Murphy’s voice to shine more than the other tracks here. Closing out the EP with ‘Tara McKinley’, Murphy provides a track that is transposable to any instrumental backing – it would sound great as a rock track – but Murphy’s choice to keep to his style give the EP a sense of flow and cohesion that is somewhat lacking in most other works these days.
