Alpha Rev / アルファ・レヴ - New Morning / ニュー・モーニング

Casey McPherson 率いるアメリカ、テキサス州オースティンのロック・バンド、アルファ・レヴのデビュー・アルバム。Paul McCartney, Sublime, the Strokes 等を手がける David Kahne がプロデュース。

Just who are these shattered souls Alpha Rev singer/songwriter Casey McPherson sketches in his songs? Why an evocative cello solo on one track, and a killer guitar riff in the next? Eventually, under the sway of the band's music, it all becomes clear. It's there in the sweep of melody and brash confessions of McPherson's lyrics. One or two songs into New Morning, Alpha Rev's Hollywood Records debut album, and you're hooked. Produced by David Kahne (Paul McCartney, Sublime, the Strokes) New Morning wrestles with thematic contrasts: faith and faithlessness, entrapment and freedom, sleep and wakefulness.
