How do you follow up a work described in the
Independent
"the best debut album since
Marquee Moon
?" That's the question facing singer-songwriter
John Canning Yates
, twenty years on from the critically acclaimed
The First Album
by his band
Ella Guru
.
The Quiet Portraits
will appeal to anyone who loves the beautiful melodic soundscapes woven by
Brian Wilson
,
Burt Bacharach
, and
Tom Waits
, while Yates's unique vocals evoke the emotional fragility and compelling narrative of
Neil Young
,
Paul Buchanan
,
Mark Linkous
, and
Elliott Smith
. Mastered by
Jason Mitchell
(
PJ Harvey
,
Robert Forster
), and featuring guest contributions from pedal steel maestro
BJ Cole
and friend and multi-instrumentalist
Andy Frizell
(
Kevin Ayers
,
Wizards of Twiddly
), those dedicated followers of Ella Guru who stayed the path will find their patience very well rewarded.
The Quiet Portraits
is a remarkable achievement from an unassuming, yet hugely talented artist. It's a welcome relief amid the rapidly changing musical landscape to find that all that has changed in John's world is the number of musicians around him. The beautiful storytelling, the art of finding those magical musical moments that will remain with you for years to come: all of that has survived the passing of time intact. Happiest with headphones on, working alone in the small hours from his Liverpool home, Yates has created another masterpiece. Entitled
The Quiet Portraits
, the new solo album from John Canning Yates tells tales of people and places, of time, family, history, belonging, forgetting and remembering.
