Another day, another band claiming to make “unique” music… so is it true of Share? Well, not really no, there’s plenty of exponents of folk-pop tinged with electronic sounds. Share do stand apart from their contemporaries though, with their endlessly fascinating ability to take intimate little tunes and effortlessly inflate them into something so much bigger. Built around the everyman vocals of Andrew Sisk, whose anonymous singing style adds a certain charm to the songs here, and the knob-twiddling production skills of A.A. Wallace, for this (their third full length disc) the duo have added two new full time members in guitarist Nick Cobham and double bass player Kyle Cunjak (both of whom are also members of Olympic Symphonium – look out for a review of their latest release in the next few days). Piuck of the crop here, for this reviewers ears, is the country tinged ‘Continents’ with it’s steel guitar adding a layer of melancholy that I find relentlessly appealing. The lyrics may stray close to the line between sincere and twee, but Sisk’s deadpan delivery adds a measure of weight. All in all, this is an interesting little album, not immediately accessible perhaps, but all the more interesting because of it!check out Share at: www.myspace.com/andrewsisk
