Review
Take one genius experimental guitar player well versed in the making of arty found-sound music and angular postrock. Cut him loose from his band, introduce him to fingerpicked guitar stylings and lush, orchestral pop production, and then leave him alone to create his masterpiece. The result? Jim O'Rourke's Eureka, an unabashedly beautiful work. --Mike McGonigalJim O'Rourke has undergone a radical transformation since leaving Chicago's rock-improv ensemble Gastr Del Sol. While previously enjoying the singular role of avant-garde guitar hero, O'Rourke has slowly blossomed into a skillful producer with an extremely refined artistic sense. On Eureka he embraces an orchestral pop motif replete with horns, strings, and even female background vocalists. While O'Rourke's music reveals a strong debt to guitarist John Fahey and arranger Van Dyke Parks, it is his singing on this album that makes for a dreamy departure into modern folk-rock. Surrounding himself with some of Chicago's finest underground musicians, O'Rourke creates a rich tapestry of sophisticated sound that is both gentle and distinctive. More than having tremendous musical talent, O'Rourke is now making beautiful records. --Mitch Myers
