(Matador)
"Take me to the future. I'm ready," sings Wesley Eisold. That may be true, but someone appears to have stuck a spanner in his time machine ? he's definitely heading backwards. The destination is 1982 or thereabouts, given the Human League and the Cure appear to be the main influences on Cherish the Light Years, though the horns of Dexys and Peter Hook's bass tone are discernible, too. Chris Coady's production makes the whole thing sound rich, but quite why Eisold, a Bostonian, is so fixated on the UK of 30 years ago is unclear, especially as Cherish the Light Years is apparently a tribute to his new home of New York. Whatever the reason, this collection seems retrograde and oddly neutered, the chilly vulnerability of its inspirations recoded as muscular bombast.
