Review

Drawing from various stylistic backgrounds, the new CD from Ezra Thomas slips between genres, with its strong foundation in acoustic/roots rock and mature musicianship to settle comfortably within the popular AAA format. Ezra Thomas takes a chance in this age of "techno trickery" to create The Weight of Being, a CD supported by a mix of progressive grooves, profound weighty lyrics and timeless melodies. These qualities are best illustrated by the fifth cut on the record "Where I Am". The strong electric arrangements on The Weight of Being range from the reserved alt-pop sounds of "December" to the hymn-like qualities of "Kinsman Redeemer" to bring the record to life. This is an adventurous recording filled with inference, a fusion of all the musical forms Ezra Thomas absorbed on their journey. Their torrent sound,highlighted by deep-seated drums, grousing guitars, and entrancing vocals, moves beyond the walls of projects past to authenticate a bolder proclamation. Comparable to the music of: Duncan Sheik, Dave Matthews, Ben Harper, Chris Whitely, Daniel Lanois, Mark Knopfler
