'Petals Fallen Off The Sun' marks the return of critically acclaimed, UK singer songwriter Terry Emm. Praised by the likes of Bob Harris, Tom Robinson, Mojo and UNcut for his debut CD 'White Butterflies', this long awaited second album, is a more band orientated production.
Whilst maintaining the English singer-songerwriter sensabilities, confessional lyrics and intricate finger picked guitars of the former, the inventive drums of Vinnie Lammi and careful instrumental touches by producer Richard Durrant result in a sound akin to Nick Drake or Clifford T Ward fronting Gravenhurst or Red House Painters.
At times, the production is stark and stripped back as in 'Monet', an Angie-esque folk song. In 'Sarah', a sweet song for Emm's sister, the drums and accordion float alongside Durrant's trademark guitar sound. The sparking, guitar layered, La's -esque 'Here' and almost Led Zep like 'Snow' add other, interesting flavours.
