Review

Bandleader Robert Fisher doesn't just write about the corners of the soul where death, revenge, transcendence, and spiritual crisis confuse human will. On the Willard Grant Conspiracy's brilliant sixth album, Fisher conjures them in grand sonic chiaroscuro: bright and brooding textural arrangements that pit swirling guitar feedback against wistful violins and layers of keyboards, percussion, and voices. The grandest instrument of all is Fisher's Jim Morrison-like baritone, which perfectly expresses his dark poetry--especially in the nine-minute title number, a tale of blasphemy and retribution as arresting and expansive as the Doors' "The End." Well-tailored production and experimentalism take this disc a few steps away from the roots/Americana foundation of the California-based group's earlier recordings. Nonetheless, a cover of Dylan's "Ballad of a Thin Man" fits right in, thanks to the fractured backbone provided by guitarist Jason Victor. Steve Wynn cowrote the lyrics to the survivor's song "Flying Low," and John Dragonetti, Blake Hazard, and other indie-rock darlings make cameos. But Let It Roll is obviously the product of Fisher's own strong, singular vision, and could win the Willard Grant Conspiracy a following of the same heroic proportions they already enjoy in Europe. --Ted DrozdowskiEuropean pressing features a total of 10 tracks including 'Crush', 'Dance With Me', 'Lady Of The Snowline', 'Skeleton', the title track and more.
