As children riding in a car or lovers lying on the beach, we’ve all looked up into the blue and tried to see images in those puffy white cotton balls we call clouds. Whether we visualize a lion’s face or a slice of cheesecake, what we see and describe to others is rooted in who we are. Our perspectives are shaped by our experiences, emotions and current circumstances. And when elements of our lives become overcast, happy clouds turn dark and grey. Sometimes, they even speak to us. We start hearing the black clouds talk. The songs on Brian Deer's debut CD 'Black Cloud Talk' take thier cue from equal parts alternative rock and engaging singer/songwriter, with occasional hints at roots rock sounds. Trained in both classical and jazz guitar, Deer allows his playing to exist as a layer of the songs, alongside his soulful vocals,soft organs and transparent drumbeats. Drawing on influences that range from Elvis Costello and Bruce Springsteen to Wilco and Radiohead, Deer creates a unique blend of textures that add contrast and color to the integrity found in his lyrics. Indianapolis based Deer recorded 'Black Cloud Talk' at Studio Chicago with musician/producer Matt Thompson and engineer Dan Steinman. Once in the studio, they called upon many Chicago players to perform on the project, including members of Sonia Dada, alt-country hero Robbie Fulks, Bright Eyes band member, Nate Walcott and Chicago icon Larry Gray. | ||
