Adam Michael Krause - As Nice As A Tree
Listening to music is similar to tasting new food. Sometimes you love the new sounds and taste sensations straight away, other times question marks flood thoughts. The beauty of these other times is their ability to mature. As this appreciation grows, the bonds established are soon stronger than the love at first experience scenario. Adam Michael Krause has turned contemplation to these discoveries. Accepting the repetitive features from the opening and longest track "There's Never Been A Building", has set precedence for future compositions in their mysterious entirety.
Each time theses sounds make their way though, new aspects are discovered. As Nice As A Tree is slowly germinating in the consciousness. Eight tracks across just over twenty five minutes, the tone and timbre sitting in a difficult place to pinpoint. The unique qualities of Adam's lyrics and vocal delivery deserve wonder and introspection. "Move Ahead and Repeat", speaking of the tragedy of man's inability to understand history and it's implications for the future. "What A Dead Bird Means", is only relative to the fixation placed upon recurring events, remain free from this and think. The track "Trees Listed Alphabetically" some how remains a favorite. It's just Adam going through a list of trees in a spellbinding manner. There was a New Zealand band, The Cakekitchen and specifically one album from 1991 title World of Sand... As Nice As A Tree stirs memories of this really tremendous album.
Released on Geology Records out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This is also the area of residence for Adam Michael Krause. Geology Records always gives great love for each release and As Nice As A Tree is right there. A hand selected local leaf, small printed booklet, j card binder sleeve and excellent cassette art....
