Editorial Reviews

Gorgeous, stunning, stellar, the superlative flow! We loved (and many of you joined us here) the last one, Unnoticed but "The Corner Of An Unlit World" is another level in Jesse Sprinkle`s world. Everything that was on "Unnoticed" is here in spades, but the material has more sharper focus, the melodies ring a bit longer, the vocals move the soul even deeper and musician ship and arranging add new textures and nuances. All over there`s rich, hook-laden pop tunes smothered in gorgeous vocal harmonies, highly textured music-scapes, incredible melodies and excellent arrangements! As with "Unnoticed", fans of early Posies, harmony-ridden, acoustic-driven pure pop, REJOICE! It`s hard to find a band that better epitomizes what why so many folks fell so hard for The Posies during their "Failure" and "Dear 23" period(those Hollies-esque harmonies!) than inside Sprinkle`s music. Bsides those folks, fans of Michael Penn, Neil Finn, Ice Cream Hands and the those rare moments when Elliot Smith made happy pop music are going to, simply, be smitten and fall hard for this one. Sprinkle used to be in the band Poor Old Lu, who released some legendary, but hard to find albums in the 90`s. Soaring open chorded strums and blended vocals fulfill the connection to all the aforementioned bands. Crisp guitar lines and rich, soothing vocals urge the complete success of this project clearly into focus, opening up fresh pop vistas of effortless strumming and lovely melodies. IT does not get much better than this for fans of acoustically, chiming, ringing power pop than this. Lyrically rich, the songs rely on sugar-sweet harmonies on every second of this CD. Extremely Highly Recommended!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't believe nobody's said anything yet!, August 24, 2006

This review is from: The Corner of an Unlit World (Audio CD)

This album is excellent, plain and simple. Jesse has proven time and time again that he could easily break into the mainstream if he chose to and more than likely top the artists that are already there.

Now, christian listeners might be shocked to hear the slight bit of profanity in "Over Land and Dimly Lit Skies," but Jesse himself tells me that this album is just an honest expression, a venting, of the things he was feeling at the time, and that removing such a word as f*** would compromise the song. I, for one, am refreshed by this complete honesty, you don't see a lot of that in music today or in the world in general really.

I believe my favorite songs off of this album would be "Jimmy" and "The Beauty of Pain and the Life Which Springs From Death."
