The electric guitar, clean or over-driven, provides a fresh palette of tone to Spencer’s familiar melodic approach. Violins ripe with organic tube distortion also contribute to this provocative, textured sound. The songs represent the full spectrum of light and dark emotions with moments of both respite and urgency. Highly detailed acoustic guitar is prevalent throughout while the electric adds its classic chime or offers the emphatic overdrive. Ultimately, it delivers what a Spencer Lewis instrumental recording always offers: passionate music to entwine with life.
