The Rumor

Mike Moore, Music Connection

Producers: Bob Hoag and Before Braille

Top Cuts: "Miracle Mile", "A Cinema Spine", "Abracadaver"

Summary: Before Braille incorporates a tendency toward heartfelt lyrics, bittersweet melodies and an urgent, guitar-driven musical attack. While David Jensen too often utilizes a monotone vocal approach, he invokes more splashes of character and relies less on whining than most of his emo counterparts. Musically, the album favors intricate arrangements and startling dynamics.
