Starting with the aching, forlorn solo violin of Clare Mactaggart on "Absolute Beauty Is an Absolute Curse" and winding its way slowly through 13 songs, How Animals Move is filled with melodies that are by turns childlike and melancholy. Tunes move at a languid pace, interspersed periodically with monotone vocals (Does De Wolf on "Shrunken Man") and narrations (David Donahue on "Bernadette") that add emotional blankness and resignation. The title cut lurches about as if played by a slightly drunken but stately mariachi band, while "Florida Recount" ends with a high-pitched, dissonant wail over somber guitar chords. The final selection, a bawdy "Airplane Blues" sung with ripe fervor by PJ Harvey, stands in stark contrast to the other music on the disc. Her passionate delivery, sung with tongue held lustily in cheek, virtually explodes with life-affirming emotions. --Wally Shoup

Album Description

The recording of How Animals Move took place over an extended period of time in various studios & non-studios around the world. Animals depths are plumbed in all manners, from the solo violin piece 'Absolute Beauty Is An Absolute Curse' played by Clare Mactaggart to the title track (Parish's 11 piece band featuring Portishead's Adrian Utley & slide guitarist Jeremy Hogg), to vocal contributions from Does De Wolf, David Donahue and longtime accomplice PJ Harvey. Thrill Jockey. 2002.

If you're looking for a mellow cd this isn't a bad choice. However, it is overproduced and lacks some heart. His style biting is rather apparent in some songs but it's okay, after all I own it.
