Our Take

Out of the misty, ethereal depths of the musical universe comes PARAORCHESTRA's Death Songbook, a collaboration with the enigmatic Brett Anderson and the maestro Charles Hazlewood. This album is like a sonic séance, summoning the spirits of rock gods past and weaving them into a haunting tapestry of sound.

From the first eerie notes of "Elegy for a Lost Girl", you are transported to a world where beauty and darkness intertwine in a delicate dance. Anderson's haunting vocals float on a sea of orchestral arrangements, guided by Hazlewood's masterful hand. It's a marriage made in musical heaven, or perhaps more fittingly, musical purgatory.

Tracks like "The Ghost of David Bowie" and "Lament for Kurt Cobain" pay homage to the fallen heroes of rock, blending their iconic melodies with PARAORCHESTRA's unique sound. The result is a captivating listen that will leave you both haunted and inspired.

But Death Songbook is not all darkness and melancholy. Songs like "Requiem for a Disco Queen" and "Ode to the 80s" inject a sense of playful nostalgia into the mix, reminding us that even in death, there is beauty to be found.

In the end, Death Songbook is a truly spellbinding experience, a musical journey that will linger in your mind long after the final note has faded. PARAORCHESTRA, Brett Anderson, and Charles Hazlewood have crafted something truly special here, a testament to the enduring power of music to transcend time and space. Verdict: 9.0
