Jandek - "The Myth Of The Blue Icicles" (Corwood 0790) 2008

Jandek makes another return to his traditional heartland of twisted solo acoustic guitar accompanying vocals that swing from what seem to be very personal, diary-like narratives to image-laden, death dream prose.All the classical Jandek marks are present: the tangled acoustic guitar that manages to clash with itself; the deep, cat-scratchy vocals that sound like they were only achieved after a lifetime of swallowing glass and drinking his own urine; and the lyrics that are part-confessional, part-sixth form poetry, and part-one-half of a conversation that we were never meant to hear. "The Myth of Blue Icicles" is one of his finest piece of writing and improvisational poetry, with acoustic guitars that shift from cacophony to blues-influenced playing throughout. The lyrical content of this album is phenomenal, dark and considered; psychedelic, vivid and improvised all at once. The personal nature of much of this writing will endear the album to the majority of Corwood listeners, who thrive on the raw,uncut and untouched emotion of these releases.
Is he the perfect pop star?
