OREN PETER - VINYL GREENER PASTURE [VINYL]

Popis - GREENER PASTURE [VINYL]:
'The Greener Pasture' offers a bleak answer to the question "where will I go/if I don't want to be/with idle hands awaiting catastrophe/here in the Anthropocene" posed on his title track of his previous album 'Anthropocene': "The greener pasture is also fenced in/the wider trough has an asterisk/rotate the herd every few days/or is it every few years/we got their tags on our ears/standing in shit crying bovine tears." Indiana-born, everywhere-based singer-songwriter Peter Oren possesses a remarkable singing voice, low and deep and richly textured: as solid as a glacier, as big as a mountain. Similar in its baritone gravel to Bill Callahan, a hero of his, it rumbles in your conscience, a righteous sound that marks him as an artist for our tumultuous times, when sanity seems absent from popular discussions.
