Review

Recorded in his South Philly basement during summer 2001, Bill Ricchini's Ordinary Time mixes the gentle vocal style and quiet folk arrangements of Elliott Smith with the sparse, fey glam of a Belle & Sebastian, yielding a familiar yet affecting warmth. Though delayed until late 2002 for a proper release, Time was included on Salon.com's list of 2001's "best unreleased CDs." It's easy to see why, as Ricchini's sure-handed songwriting, though derivative at times, transcends the record's lo-fi origins, lazily bouncing along on the wandering thoughts of a young man staring up at the clouds. Songs like "Rain Parade" and "Ballad in 2-D" show Ricchini's talent for creating dreamily repetitive structures and jangle-pop, and a richly symphonic, Pet Sounds slant gives depth to "Julie Christie" and "Like Falling Asleep." Ricchini's influences are well chosen, regardless of how nakedly they're represented. Here is an artist to watch as he develops his own voice. --Matthew Cooke
