Songwriting Genius, March 26, 2007
This review is from: Magnetic North (Audio CD)
Iain Archer's album "Magnetic North" is among my top 5 of the 2006. It's for those who long for layered, complex finger-picking structures matched with sweet melodic lyrical arrangements. If you like Wilco, Jeff Buckley, Guillemots, or Bright Eyes this is an album for you. It rocks when it needs to: "When It Kicks In." "Canal Song (End of Sentence)" makes me imagine I could breath underwater. "Long Jump" is the best song on the album. "Luke's Point" is an acoustic gem. "Magnetic North" is a rare treat where every song takes to a new place, and somehow it remains cohesive. Songwriting at it's best.

This is a good cd. The melodies are picked out beautifully and Iain Archer has a distinctive voice and thoughtful lyrics. Canal Song is truly breathtaking.
