Mark McGuire – Living With Yourself CD
2010
...en esta ocasión McGuire alcanza una maestría insólita: para comprobarlo, basta asomarse a la compleja “Two Different People”, una canción en la que varias guitarras comienzan tocando un motivo idéntico para luego ir evolucionando por separado, enlazándose en algunos momentos y separándose en otros, provocando por el camino un delicioso juego de tensiones. Una manera de hacer que sólo abandona en el épico cierre del disco, un “Brothers (For Matt)” que, a partir de un entrañable diálogo entre McGuire y su padre, construye una catedral de rock atmosférico, con un ritmo de batería cinético y cientos de guitarras lanzadas en otras tantas direcciones. Un final apoteósico y feliz, que acentúa las virtudes de “Living With Yourself”, un disco del que es posible afirmar, sin miedo a equivocarse demasiado (porque, como ya hemos dicho más arriba, controlar toda la discografía del joven es una tarea titánica), que se trata de lo mejor que McGuire ha grabado nunca. (reseña en Playgroundmag)
Mark McGuire operates chiefly as guitarist in the legendary Emeralds., however he also has racked up an impressive set of solo releases over the last few years (albeit mainly in small to micro print runs).
Living With Yourself is his new album and we at Editions Mego hope to meet any demand which may arise from this fine selection of modern crafted guitar tunes. Focusing on his family, early friendships and the problems that inevitably develop through years of knowing someone, it takes McGuires sound even further out, and contains some his most accomplished songs to date.
The opening track is fine example of McGuires magic technique of taking a lone acoustic guitar then transforming the track into bliss-out electro wash looping off into the distance. And tracks like ‘Clouds Rolling In’ and ‘Brain Storm’ take off where such McGuire classics as ‘The Marfa Lights’ (which incidentally is planned for a future reissue) left off. While connoisseurs of his sound will find all they desire in here, many superb surprises await around every corner. These are songs that cruise, bubble and rise to the top.
Available as LP vinyl and CD in digipack.
