Our Take

Paraorchestra's Death Songbook is a haunting and mesmerizing collaboration between the eccentric Brett Anderson of Suede fame and the maestro Charles Hazlewood. With a mix of orchestral grandeur and Anderson's distinctive vocals, this album is a wild ride from start to finish.

The opening track, "Funeral March for a Landline," sets the tone perfectly with its dramatic strings and melancholic lyrics. Anderson's voice floats effortlessly over the orchestral arrangements, creating a sense of both beauty and sadness.

Tracks like "Graveyard Groove" and "Tombstone Tango" showcase Hazlewood's genius in blending classical music with modern rock elements. The result is a sound that is both timeless and utterly unique.

Anderson's lyrics are as poetic as ever, with themes of mortality and loss woven throughout the album. Lines like "Death is a disco, and we're all just dancers" will linger in your mind long after the final notes fade away.

Overall, Paraorchestra's Death Songbook is a bold and ambitious project that pushes boundaries and defies genre conventions. It's a thrilling listening experience that will leave you in awe of the incredible talent and vision of both Anderson and Hazlewood. Don't miss out on this gem of an album.
