HOWIE BECK – How To Fall Down In Public

With the singer/songwriter scene fraught with talent, commercial and otherwise, in abundance, some artists may feel their need to tweak what they do to get noticed. Other just stick to what they do and do it well.
Becks fourth album see’s him grow in stature musically and lyrically. A beautiful, melancholic ode to all life’s strife’s. His sole, diverse, instrument abilities litter and complex the songs wonderfully and his smooth vocals wash over you.
From the opening ‘Watch out for the Fuzz’, the perfect summery pop song to the closing ‘Beside this Life’ which shifts the mood to being in a piano bar late at night, you come out of it feeling like you’re truly been somewhere else for the past half hour. Even at the short running time its still beautifully effective.
A wonderful, unique and heartfelt album!
