Here Is What Is ReviewGiven the almost spooky excellence of everything he touches, to say this is the best thing Daniel Lanois has put out in a decade really is saying something. Eschewing the need to stick with one particular sound - either the ragged-edged rock of "Wynona" or the cool minimalism of "Acadie" and "Belladonna" - this new album delivers on the promise of "Shine", giving us a set of genre-defying songs that are warmer, richer, more lyrically engaging and ultimately more moving than anything he's done before. Highlights are the title track, the exquisite "Harry", "Duo Glide", "Moondog" and a new cut of "Where Will I Be" (though not even Lanois himself can top the Emmylou Harris version he produced). What strikes me most about this recording is that Lanois seems more comfortable in his own skin as a songwriter and performer; overall it's less self-consciously arty, more confident, more relaxed, more joyous. That's not to say it lacks artistry. As always, Lanois and his collaborators use the simplest rock instruments to generate a sound that's bigger, deeper, more subtle, more complex, and far more expressive than you might think possible from such arrangements. Close listening reveals the infinite care and genius with which these songs have been crafted - especially in the mix - but, as with all great music, in the moment of reception it all just sounds effortless. What's particularly satisfying about this release is that it's not simply a merchandising spin-off from the film of the same name. Against expectations, this strange playlist of cross-genre songs and inspiring snatches of interviews with Brian Eno and others works as an album in its own right. Strongly recommended.Here Is What Is Overview
