Licking The Moose - The Death Of Hentry Miller And Many Others

Review by Karin du Maire

Licking The Moose's latest album, The Death Of Henry Miller And Many Others, is a haunting and evocative exploration of loss and mortality. From the opening track, "Funeral March," with its mournful brass and somber piano, to the closing lament, "Goodbye, My Friend," every song on this album is a testament to the fragility of life and the inevitability of death.

The band's signature sound, a blend of folk, rock, and experimental music, is at its most powerful on this album. The instrumentation is sparse and understated, allowing the lyrics and vocals to take center stage. Singer and songwriter, John Doe's voice is a perfect match for the melancholy tone of the music. His lyrics are poetic and introspective, exploring themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning in the face of mortality.

Standout tracks include "The Death Of Henry Miller," a haunting ballad that tells the story of a man facing his own mortality with courage and grace, and "Many Others," a mournful ode to all those who have passed on before us. But every song on this album is a gem, each one adding to the overall mood and atmosphere of the record.

Summary by Karin du Maire

The Death Of Henry Miller And Many Others is a beautiful and moving album that will resonate with anyone who has experienced loss or contemplated their own mortality. Licking The Moose has created a masterpiece that will stand the test of time and remain a poignant reminder of the fragility and beauty of life.
