“Poker Joker”
takes off into a vein that echos a shadow of Beck ; Yet PJ Richardson
serves up a plateful of audio flow that permeates with a cerebral & other-wordly
vibration , that is in another dimension altogether In “Mundane”,
PJ drives down a harder edged Rock road , replete with electric slide
guitar & complimentary analog-retro synthesizer. Reminiscent of Marc Bolan
& T. Rex in some aspects “Mymaker” has
a fine high-end pipe organ intro riff , married to some lyrical effervescence.
Contrasted with an ethereal atmosphere. Tthis tune is one of the many
highlights on the “Kicks + Tricks” project. One can almost hear a hint
of Peter Gabriel , melded with a dollop of Brian Eno “Lady” chimes
in with some acoustic six string guitar & reflective vocals , that would
feel at home with a artist like Andy Partridge-[XTC] “Kicks + Tricks”
is a prime example of the stylistic nuance & subtle trademark sound that
characterizes PJ Richardson’s sonic muse. A plethora of diversity & moods
both tellingly altruistic & darkly obtuse in design & intent “Heart Of Mine”
is a another fine acoustic guitar cut with a welcome diversionary ambiance
; This song showcases a vulnerable side to the artist , somewhat similar
in tone to some of Ray Davies’ work “Inclined” is
a journey through a subterranean landscape , that mirrors a band like
Nine Inch Nails ; But PJ Richardson’s shadow is more diffuse & has not
the need to rely purely on bombast & DB overload “April Showers”
is a ghostly piece that haunts the listener with a psuedo-existential
look at post modern society & the isolation & alienation that peers forth
from the shadows; With an echo of Buffalo Springfield thrown in for good
measure PJ Richardson
is a musical enigma that defies description & classification. His sonic
paintings are complex & subtle simultaneously. His work initiates the
acolyte to repeated listening & we highly recommend that you do yourself
a favor & check out PJ Richardson’s music.; The experience is well worth
the effort |
