5.0 out of 5 stars Norah Jones fans - Give this a listen!, February 21, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: William & Marlys (Audio CD)

If you like Norah Jones - beautiful melodies, well crafted songs, you should listen to Swan Dive. In fact, a Norah Jones concert was where I first discovered Swan Dive. They opened for her in Nashville, TN. I was immediately smitten and bought a copy of their cd called "June". It was amazing! When I heard about "William & Marlys", I might have been the first customer to buy a copy. It's one of the most lovely records I've heard in years. The songs are so beautifully written and performed. There are lush strings on each track
that pull you in and don't let go. "Good to Be Free", "Leftover"... the strings and background vocals will just slay you. When the cd stopped I had to immediately play it again. I can't believe how much I love this record! I want the world to know about Swan Dive.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another perfect slice of emotion...., November 27, 2004

Dodges Shaved Head "Andy" (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: William & Marlys (Audio CD)

Whilst not as immediately attention grabbing as their previous offering, William and Marleys continues in the Swan Dive tradition of perfect melody, haunting vocal and simple straight to the heart lyrical beauty.

Deliberately more reflective and with the 'wistful' input turned right up to 10, this set of songs compels you to listen closely and get drawn in. Stand out tracks "hometown", "leftover" and album closer "where am i going" burn brightly - scorching an image in the mind and catching you unawares in quiet moments when you find yourself singing the melody to yourself. Such moments of pure perfection are few and far between in life, grab this with both hands.
