Post Description

Centring around the Icarus myth, William Fitzsimmons' seventh album sees him debark on a slightly different sound aesthetic, yet still his distinctive voice holds it all together. For fans of Bon Iver, The National, Sufjan Stevens and Jose´ Gonzalez.

The frame of the album provides its greatest strength. With at least two codes in place – the Icarus myth and Fitzimmons’ recent autobiography – the songs warrant repeated listening to connect all the dots. Fitzsimmons wisely avoids mapping the Greek myth as an allegory for his own experience, leaving room for interpretation and emotional experience rather than simply suggesting a series of keys to use. The title track could be read as coming from Icarus, leaving the line “I’m never coming home” as a morbid bit of finality. Taken as part of the real world, the line (and the song) offers a less totalizing sort of escape, a way out.
