Bird on the Wire presents Adrian Crowley. For a man of such personal understatement, Adrian Crowley is an artist of considerable ambition – something he shares with the unique artists sometimes recalled when listening to his music; Scott Walker, Lou Reed, Ivor Cutler, Lee Hazlewood. His latest LP ‘Some Blue Morning’, the majestic follow up to the Choice Music Prize nominated ‘I See Three Birds Flying’, sees Crowley achieve a number of brilliant and interesting advances. The compositions move between sparse dream-state ghost-songs and song-stories to all-out epic numbers with tense nerve-ending strings. Crowley is a man literally haunted by music; his ability to capture these dreams in such a disciplined manner is astoundingly rare. And this album almost feels like an exposition of that process.
