Our Take

MICK HARVEY & CHRISTOPHER RICHARD BARKER's latest offering, "The Fall And Rise Of Edgar Bourchier And The Horrors Of War", is a daring concept album that takes listeners on a wild, unpredictable journey through history.

Harvey and Barker have truly outdone themselves with this ambitious project, weaving together a narrative that is as dark and brooding as it is utterly captivating. From the haunting opening track, "The Unveiling Of Abor," to the epic closer, "The Reckoning," every song on this album tells a story that is both riveting and disturbing.

The duo's musical craftsmanship is on full display here, with Harvey's masterful production setting the stage for Barker's evocative lyrics and powerful vocals. The result is a sonic landscape that is both lush and menacing, with layers of instrumentation that build and release tension in a truly exhilarating way.

Tracks like "The Trenches" and "The Battle Of One Tree Hill" showcase Harvey and Barker's ability to create atmosphere and drama, while songs like "The Ballad Of George Shell" and "The End Of The War" reveal their knack for crafting memorable melodies that stick with you long after the music has stopped.

Overall, "The Fall And Rise Of Edgar Bourchier And The Horrors Of War" is a triumph of storytelling and musicality that cements Harvey and Barker's status as true artists in every sense of the word. This is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates music that challenges and rewards in equal measure.
