Review: City and Colour’s “Little Hell”
If you haven’t listened to City and Colour’s last album “Bring Me Your Love” definitely do so. It is flat out amazing. Dallas Green’s slightly twisted, kind of melancholy, but beautiful lyrics are meshed with a pleasantly fast-paced guitar in what can only be described as exuberance. Green’s happy to be singing, even if it is about despair or death.
Alright, that was a bit over the top, but it’s a great album.
Anyway, he’s got a follow-up, out now. It’s not as ‘deep’ as the last, and some songs struggle a little bit with, but there’s a very strong base in solid lyrics paired with great sound. Good, relaxed listening. It’s just awesome that he embraces the darker side of life but still sings his heart out about it.
For fun, here’s a great ‘edit’:
