From the opening sequence
of "Just Tell Me Something" with it's imaginative & unique vox quality,
it's obvious that Michelle Risquet has an alluring vocal range & timber
that is highlighted in her tenor pitch that is a magnetic element in the
bands sound. As the atmospherics of "Lay In Grace" settle in, the dramatic
balladry & piano exude a somber shadow like effect ; Whereas "Life Is
A Mystery" & its acoustic proto-pop folk mirror the Gaelic folk tinged
alternative exploration of "Suicidal Poets" In songs like "Digital
Moods(Electric Dreams)" the listener is witness to an ambient cascade,
whereas "Echoes In A Curved Mirror" offer a textural world beat flavor
of free form avant garde soundscapes. These works are reflected in the
world fusion flute splashes of "I'm The Only One" to the ambient experimentation
of "Ground Zero(Wasted tears)." Other cuts such as "Ashes" further explore
this territory with its alt-avant orchestrations & production dynamics
Suicidal Poets have
this extraordinary capacity to variate & segue into other enabling musical
modes as is the case in "Love Is Lonely" with it's pop/r&b post modernism
to "Cries Of War" which segues into a guitar edge oriented pseudo metalism.
In "Silver Horses" we are treated to a blues tinged fusion with time signature
changes Turning another page
as Suicidal Poets is so adept at doing can conjure up cuts such as "Silhouette"
with its coffee house alt-folk, or other tunes like "You Got The Feeling(Trance
Demo Project)" & it's hypno-dronic techno-pulse. One may then approach
another chapter to find the band in free form with synth bass & horn punches
via "Visions From 3 Pictures" or the alt-fusion of "The Smoke Room" When Suicidal Poets
choose to become more intimate in their audio muse, we are delighted to
listen to "Sea Of Love" with its string flourishes or the alternative
avant pop rock of "No Less Than You" Taking us a step further
with "Falling" , Suicidal Poets highlight a contemporary acoustic reflective
chiming pop flair. Or in "Part Of Me" we hear the warm unpretentious humanity
of the gifted vocal dance of Michelle Risquet & again come full circle
in a musical meridian that radiates outward to the listeners senses &
makes us aware of the unique creativity & artistic complexity that sublimely
manifests itself in the musical magic of Suicidal Poets |

Suicidal
Poets display a plethora of style & diversity whilst carving out there
own unique niche in the music world. The enthralling vocal charisma of
Michelle Risquet propel the dynamics of Suicidal Poets along with fellow
songwriter Carmelo Risquet. Their compositional & production skills coupled
with Carmelo's bass/synthesizer work & Michells's guitar playing, are
a perfect compliment to fellow band members "Iggy" Ignacio's drum/percussion
excursions ; Hugh Ford's lead guitar flourishes & Ish-Paul's keyboard
