CITY AND COLOUR

Solo projects are inherently a risk. Traditionally, few members of any prominent band have seen success in this sort of undertaking, and even fewer have enjoyed both critical and commercial success. Add to this the bizarre notion of creating stripped-down music that doesn’t even reference the original band’s genre, and you certainly have less examples of success to point to.

Until a couple of years ago, Dallas Green was better known as the dulcet voice of Alexisonfire. The band’s feve ...

Review: City and Colour- Bring Me Your Love
Sometimes I wish music acts would just break up. Many bands have hidden secrets that aren’t exposed like they should be. This art is called a “side-project.” These “side-projects” are usually only known by the true fans of the bands. It’s sort of like the rest of the world over looks this music because its hiding under a rock. A prime example of this is Alexisonfire’s guitarist Dallas Green’s solo project “City and Colour.” Besides the fans in Canada who look at this man as an icon, this JUNO winning performer doesn’t receive much credit in the states. With his critically acclaimed debut “Sometimes”, that dropped in 2005; many fans having been waiting impatiently for a new record. Dallas announced his singing to Vagrant Records and the fans have finally got their request; Bring Me Your Love.

I found out about this new record from a live performance DVD Dallas released. In this DVD, Dallas debuted many new tracks that are on Bring Me Your Love. Just like the DVD, the opening track is “Forgive Me” A soft, calm melody that you would find in a church. I find the most impressive and interesting claim on this album is how every instrument Dallas uses is vintage. “Confessions” is the second song on Bring Me Your Love. Dallas’s unique way’s of putting an accent on some guitar notes is key. This ultimately sets the entire emotion for the song leaving the line “at least I won’t be alone tonight” repeated in your head for days. (Yes, this happened to me).

When I try to watch television at night, I’m forced to watch Lifetime or some other mediocre station. All these channels do is show these western/southern movies about some big business girl coming down there, falling in love with a guy, going back to wherever, then finally marrying the guy. It happens in every single movie. However, the soundtracks these movies carry are very weak. Maybe if you’re lucky, you’ll find a Neil Young song or something by Dylan. Bring Me Your Love is the missing piece to making these Lifetime movies enjoyable to watch. Songs such as “Body In A Box” and “What Makes A Man?” are perfect examples. Though Dallas is from St. Catharine’s, Ontario; there seems to be a passion for acoustic music for him. Incorporating the harmonica throughout the album is why I would love to see this on Lifetime.

The most interesting fact about this album is the backup band supporting Dallas. Different acts from Canada play drums and different instruments to help support this record. In the previous acoustic demo of “Sleeping Sickness”, Dallas sang by himself. While this is my favorite City and Colour song, the re done version is something I wish I could get into more, but I cannot. Gordon Downie of The Tragically Hip contributes vocal harmonies and well as his own little passage in the song. Overall, I wish this song stayed a demo. The song all of us City and Colour fans were introduced to. The single “Waiting…” Go on the Internet and find the music video, this song is one beautiful song. Mainly distributing the negative sides of love, here is my favorite lyrical passage out of Bring Me Your Love.

Hoping a better place is all I need, with moments of innocence and mystery.
Oh, it's the little things you miss.
Like waking up all alone.
Oh, it's the little things you miss, when you're underneath it all.
So say goodbye to love, and hold your head up high.
There's no need to rush we're all just waiting, waiting to die.

-Waiting....


Bring Me Your Love generally takes a softer side for the second part of the record. Dallas tries different musical figures in this second part to show what his true potential is. With the clapping in “Constant Knot” to the harmonica in “Against The Grain.” Dallas knows how to blend instruments to make sounds you’d think Neil Young would make. Using some banjo in “The Girl” this piece is another favourite(ah see what I did there) of Bring Me Your Love. Illustrating more of Dallas’s emotional side, passage’s such as “When you cry a piece of my heart dies… Knowing that I may have been the cause” are heart grabbing. The song takes jumps into a more upbeat motion around 2:30 in the song. With gang vocals harmonizing different selections, it makes a sad song sound happy. That is just sickening.

It’s becoming interesting what members can do without the rest of their band. These “solo-projects” are starting to get more hype than their formal bands. More noticeably is Dustin Kensrue of Thrice releasing “Please Come Home” in 2007. These harder bands always have a soft side. Dallas Green’s sophomore album “Bring Me Your Love” is a well worked off album. Showing how creative someone can be and how well each song is done. Us fans were impatient with another record, but I strongly believe that this wait was well worth it. With haunting lyrics that are guaranteed to have you humming all day, Bring Me Your Love should stick a top my favorites of 2008.
