专辑简介
Struck with a case of Mono, Jakob's Solace appears to be very similar to its predecessor, albeit much better produced this time around. At least, that's what the listeners ascertains after initial listens. At the heart of the album, Solace is a gentle listen (particularly a gentle beast), and after returning to Cale:Drew, it becomes apparent that this is what the outfit was attempting during that album, but who's missteps were fortunate enough to morph it into a different, yet successfull, experience nonetheless. The trio returns on Solace to set things straight, and by noticeable lengthening the songs lengths, the band is able to set the ambient waves into motion. Much of the action of the album takes place in the background, with the drums taking the forefront as crisp ambience floats in and out of the landscape. The "climaxes" are those moments when the guitars take the lead, occasionally switching into "riff mode," but generally just retaliating with a storm of distortion. Subtlety is the name of the game with Solace, and Jakob comes out on top.
Second Opinion: Solace is a strong offering that transcends genres and is built around a couple of simply beautiful tracks that will linger in your sub-conscious and haunt your dreams. For this alone, Jakob deserve your attention.
