Jay Reatard "Watch Me Fall"
(Matador, 2009)
It makes it hard to listen to this album and think that Jay Reatard is no longer with us and it will not release more albums like this. The talented and prolific Memphis genie left a discography riddled with genuine hits, with a unique sense to attach garage, punk, pop and fi, with a few squirts of distinctly British vocal melodies (bet something that he loved Buzzcocks). He defined it as something less rugged Kiwi pop another of his greatest albums, "Blood Visions", but also recorded in a state of grace. Jay Leslie in charge of recording all instruments (except some drums), composition and production: the genius of world football, kite cosmic Memphis, unique artist in his generation. Reatard had personality, something that tontainas of Interpol and The National never even remotely closer.
"It Is not Gonna Save Me", the beginning of the disc, as a friend to find a surprise around the corner and gives you a hug before you speak. So one after other, impossible to say whether this album is better or "Blood Visions". The details of production or composition abound as the sun's rays on a sunny morning.
Like other artists disappeared prematurely, some letters are hard to endure over time. In "Watch Me Fall" there are a handful, but one in particular: "I Do not Want to Be in this world" (from "Rotten Mind"). Although probably not make any sense seek no sense of foreboding.
masterpiece with lyrics, this album will hear with my grandchildren, if ever I have them (and hear but what with grandchildren of Damià) -. Jay Reatard
'S NOT DEAD!
