Английская Википедия:12 Haunted Episodes
Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox album 12 Haunted Episodes is an album by the English musician Graham Parker, released in 1995 on Razor & Tie.[1][2] Parker supported the album by touring with his backing band, the Episodes.[3] It was Parker's first studio album for an independent label.[4] 12 Haunted Episodes is primarily an acoustic album.[5]
Production
Recorded in Saugerties, New York, the album was produced by Parker.[6][7] He chose to write the songs in an open G tuning, after being annoyed when someone advised creating an album similar in style to the rock and roll of Squeezing Out Sparks.[1] Parker thought that he was able to sing more "naturally" with the new tuning.[8] He spent five hours recording the demo, then decided a few days later to add overdubs to it with other musicians.[9][10][11]
Many songs are about the work of maintaining romantic love.[12] "Disney's America" is about the proposed theme park.[13] "Haunted Episodes" added a flute to the instrumentation.[14] "Force of Nature" quotes Bob Dylan's "She Belongs to Me".[15]
Critical reception
Шаблон:Music ratings The Orlando Sentinel wrote that "Parker's famous acerbic wit is either missing or misplaced, and he seems to be low on hooks at the moment."[16] The Philadelphia Inquirer determined that "the acoustic-flavored tunes tend toward folk-rock, and the usually pugnacious Brit focuses on his tender and introspective side."[17] Rolling Stone stated: "Autumnal in mood, gracious and honest, this is music of a clean, unsentimental maturity."[18]
The Washington Post opined that "it's doubtful any other album this year will bring as much insight and passion to the subject of adult romance."[13] The Indianapolis Star concluded that Parker "abandons vitriolic irony for the more mature, and less memorable, perspective of a contented grownup."[19] The Guardian noted the "comfy tastefulness" and labeled the album "one for designer bedsits."[20]
