BILL RYDER JONES レコード& CD

Review: There's an ultimately '90s shoegazing feel to the music of Bill Ryder Jones and the Merseysider leaves no emotional stone unturned with such phrasing in this album's songs like 'the silence is killing me' and on opening track "Yawn": 'But there's a fortune to be had from telling people you're sad'. Dare we say it, there's splashes of Happy Mondays, Stone Roses and The Jesus & Mary Chain in his music too, however there is no denying Bill Ryder Jones originality, and the washy, distorted and melancholic tones and timbres of this album revel in a tear-jerking, emotional lustre.
