Somebody wrote this in some paper somewhere:
'After one too many bands, Berlin returns to
an earlier, more innocent format (piano/voice).
Simple, skeletal portraiture. The Song Itself
- unadorned. As true as a torn pocket. As confused
as a kid stuck in jail. As sad as a beautiful
girl alone on a park bench, her heart + loss
a thousand miles away. Absurd as a leering drunk
with a beer gut, or a drive past midnight to
nowhere. Berlin creates a world, a town, a topography
that seems as familiar as it is unusual. If
Van Gogh was alive + wrote songs, they might
sound like this record. He recorded 30 plus
tunes at the Hi+Dry loft in Cambridge, MA, playing
Mark Sandman's (big low end) acoustic piano.
Billy Conway produced. Tom Dube engineered.
