Greg Weeks - If The Sun Dies LP

Greg Weeks' (Espers, Grass, Magus) first solo album in seventeen years marks both a return to form and a maturation of style. File under folk rock.

If the Sun Dies, which takes its title from an Oriana Fallaci novel, is every bit a Weeks album: cryptic-poetic lyrics over melancholic melodies strummed on acoustic guitar and ornamented with the analog instruments he has forever treasured (Hammond Organ, Mellotron, Mini-Moog, and effects-laden guitars). However, the album feels like a departure, a maturation in both content and approach despite its many echoes from the past.
