Run to the Center as an album perfects Cornelia Murr’s already established signature style; songs with structures of unpredictable elegance that fracture conventional rules. She climbs us higher in a supreme moment, she leads us into a sudden harbor where a fresh rhythmic change awaits, she gives us an intro of bullfrog, a touch of strings, a kiss of horns, sustaining arches of synth, dabs of found object percussion and playful keyboards moving like a caterpillar staircase. All parts becoming the bedrock that jointly float her panoply of poetry forward. This is a full bloom on the summit.
Ripe with curiosity and dilemma, the album is an open gate of philosophical ruminations. Ideas of how “life will thrive wherever it can”, questions of how we all make it through amidst the unnatural systems we live inside of, and the complexities of a shelf- life love. Murr’s lyrics range from cryptic to colloquial with splashes of proverb. She turns her daily life into metaphors. Some elements feel city, some pastoral. One stellar line of “Oh the joy in what’s yet to become” will show up once and never repeat. Her artful weaving of the abstract and universal leaves us raptured.
From her poetic mountain, covered in delicacies of tone, she delivers us an album of surprises. With a whistling solo and vocals of demi-god allure, she frosts the cake. Her “wanting everything at the same time” has formed a real life masterpiece that will bless any little heart that listens.
From the academy of deep soul and no ego, Reverend Baron delivers visions of liquor store East LA, the off-the-freeway dry mirage of slow motion graffiti and lonely seagulls. A nylon stringed zen fog with themes of woozy love, layered dimensions of nostalgia and glazed neighborhood tales that roll in with a natural ease.
