Interesting use of the word Rococo. It works nicely as the title. There are lots of textures, layers and descriptive musical ideas- a heartfelt depiction of Sydney and lost love in lyrics and sound.
this is so good. the whole album is. as far as SK’s solo work goes this may be his strongest solo album to date. i know it’s one of my faves at least. great job
I'll be honest, I'm one of those people that only wanted to hear The Church with MWP still in the band, BUT that said, this is insanely good. Bravo! I'm back in.
New Church hasn't been sounding like old Church lately, so I guess this is Steve's answer to those of us who had been crying over Marty. Myself included. Have you heard the rest of the album yet?
@@veloboy yes I pre-ordered the album and its brilliant- The Church have evolved with every album and thats part of the attraction for me - the last album tha Marty was on sounded nothing like earlier Church albums either. I've been a fan since day one, anyone that expects them to keep recreating Milky Way or UnguardedMoment would have been disappointed decades ago. The last thing that SK would be interested in is appeasing MWP fans and its interesting that you think he has evoked the spirit of Marty with an album that doesn't really carry any Marty trademarks sounds or involvement.
I have only listened to this a couple of times but already feel like I've known it all my life. Will get the cd. By the way, release date 23-11-19, as I recall, was a big full moon in Gemini, intended or lucky coincidence? I love it! Peace 🎸
