    Album Description

    Howie Beck makes his comeback backed by great press reviews and guest appearances from Feist and Ed Harcourt. Howie Beck introduces a new spaciousness and a emarkably surefooted, classic-pop polish to his music, but not at the xpense of the whispered, 4am intimacy and naked honesty that led so many to hold his previous album `Hollow' so close to their damaged hearts. Hailing from Toronto's burgeoning alternative singer-songwriter scene, this album boasts guest appearances by chums like Feist and Ed Harcourt. Not surprisingly, Jason Collett of Broken Social Scene has called on Howie's effortless production techniques for his latest solo album. Universal. 2006

    5 out of 5 stars Capital W, capital O, capital W. .......2006-10-01

    In the multi-instrumentalist home-recording pop-loving-genius tradition of folks like Jason Falkner, Jon Brion and Elliott Smith, Howie Beck writes gorgeous pop tunes that will melt even the most embittered hearts. The arrangements are subtle, the lyrics bittersweet, the melodies perfect, and the breathy, plaintive vocals will instantly suggest a myriad of other bands you love, from the Zombies, to the Pernice Brothers, to the Red House Painters. But Howie's songs are his own, and they are fantastic.

    I admit it's a little confusing: there are about 6 separate listings in Amazon for only 2 different Howie Beck CDs, all on different labels, released successively from 2001-2006. But after hearing this, his latest, self-titled release, I'm glad there are so many different labels who want to take a stab at bringing these tunes to the masses. I wonder, however, if the masses can appreciate, or even deserve, something this good.

    5 out of 5 stars An understated classic.......2005-04-21

    Following on from 2002's Hollow, this album is simply stunning. There's something gentle and undeniably warm about Beck's songs, from the fragile, desolate beauty of Lay Down to the swaying pedal steel of Zombie Girl. With an easy picking style his guitar and voice combine perfectly, brass and strings employed subtly to great effect on tracks like Alice and Floating. With lyrics that lull you then bite with deliciously dark wit, Beck manages to be both bittersweet and emotively intense without ever succumbing to all out melancholia - it's an album so perfectly crafted it can't help but a smile on your face.

    5 out of 5 stars great work from a local artist.......2004-10-06

    some very nice tunes from a local artist. pretty amazing that all instruments were played and arranged by mr. beck

        Album Description

        Howie Beck is a Canadian singer-songwriter whose debut release was recorded in his bedroom studio, self-financed and released via his own website. Hollow is a great deal more than mere vanity publishing, however. Howie Beck's songs initially seem like shy alt. country creatures. There is a string-soaked lushness and melodic twist reminiscent of Brian Wilson or Paul McCartney at his best. Stunning debut! 1999 release.

        4 out of 5 stars A great artist.......2004-05-31

        I have only downloaded two tracks off of his website, but they really are good. I've been meaning to pick up the CD. Great lo-fi acoustic stuff done by someone with a genuine passion for it that is contagious. Here's hoping that someone somewhere reads this review and checks this guy out. He deserves all the attention he can get.
