AscenDance(2011)

The F7 Project produced AscenDance for the 2011 challenge. It is an inexplicable mix of styles, moods, and messages that nonetheless seem to represent the heart of F7s output at this moment in time.

Be forewarned: this album is topically a little 'dark', and would have been darker if I'd kept the tunes about starvation and coal mining disasters in the set ('Gillotine' and 'The Endless Broken Chain', respectively). And while the album speaks of some of the darker moments in human experience, it holds out hope, too; along with the obligatory car wreck song there's a couple of love songs. Well, maybe... if unrequited love counts.
