Organics: New Light
As is to be expected, Justin Carroll's Hammond organ is the focus of the proceedings. Carroll effectively reveals the multidimensional charms of his instrument, letting it wail strikingly at full throttle during the climax of "New Light. Drummer Kevin Brady skillfully shifts from Latin-styled beats to soft brushwork. "Postman Pat gives him the opportunity to lay down a skittering, full-bodied solo. For the most part, guitarist John Moriarty is on hand to add subtle accents. He contributes a fine, murmuring solo to the pretty ballad "Rejections. Another highlight is the Brady-penned "Elysian Fields, in which the trio works around a tightly coiled, insistent melody, inspiring quicksilver statements from each player.
If it doesn't inspire any revelations, New Light is pleasingly solid throughout. Carroll, Moriarty and Brady are skilled musicians with an obvious rapport, and their disc is a fine display of craft and assured soul.
