Faith-Void Title: Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle Artist: Bill Callahan (aka Smog) Store Date: 14 apr 2009 Upload Date: 28 mar 2009 Label: Drag City Genre: Underground Rock Cover: front Bitrate: 320 kb/s, stereo Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle is the thirteenth album for underground US singer-songwriter Bill Callahan aka Smog, though just the second under his own name. This is a more sophisticated and mature Callahan release than his previous work, featuring more instrumental depth and layering than his signature simple, repetitive, stripped back sound. Callahan’s deep baritone vocals and unemotional delivery provide a haunting element to the tracks. Lyrically he explores themes such as relationships, religion and nature, but does so in a stoic, pragmatic manner. The songs are not structured in a logical verse/chorus format but instead follow a stream of consciousness path, often in a conversational narrative style. His religious ponderings and menace have, for me, something of Nick Cave about them. While his dark, quavering vocals summon the sounds of Leonard Cohen or Lou Reed.
