 ROC Album Previewed
ChickenFish.com in the US say:
Roc - Night Fold Around Me - CD
(12 Apostles Records) With whispering vocals and techno beats, ROC's third release seems to lash out and wrap itself around the listener with a rich,enticing soundscape. Some of the melodies feel a bit forced, but for the most part ROC has a handle on what they want to convey and they eventually get their point across. One of this disc's shining moments is "Sing a Poor Song". The keyboard work is soft and easy while Fred Browning's velvety voice asks "oneday what if you should/ fly away for good/ then what would I do" before itbursts open with a lush instrumentation only to soften back up and cuddle the listener some more. I also like the single version of "Journey to the Center of Brixton"; it's like techno-Blondie. This isn't my favorite kind of music, bu ROC is good at it and with three extra tracks Night Fold Around Me is worth apeek.
