I used to be a HUGE Our Lady Peace fan. Naveed, Clumsy, Happiness Is Not a Fish You Can Catch and Spiritual Machines have all been called favorites. I’ve driven 500 miles multiple times to see the band live.
But I couldn’t get into Gravity. The band lost founding guitarist Mike Turner (creative differences, you know) and then went to California to chill on the beach and totally lost their edge. Healthy in Paranoid Times never cut it for me, either.
Yet I’m open to giving lead singer Raine Maida another chance on his new solo LP, The Hunter’s Lullaby, which drops August 26 on his own label, Kingnoise Records.
From the album stream at this link, I’m already jazzed about “Confessional” and “The Snake and the Crown.” I’ll let you know what I think of the whole album once I get my grubby hands on it.
