Description

2015 release. Poison Season opens with Vancouver native Dan Bejar swathed in Hunky Dory strings. HeÆs a dashboard Bowie surveying four wracked charactersùJesus, Jacob, Judy, Jackùsimultaneously Biblical and musical theatre. This bittersweet, Times Square-set fanfare is reprised twice more on the recordùfirst as swaying, saxophone-stoked ôstreet-rockö and then finally as a curtain-closing reverie. ôThe first and last songs are actually one song tracked live with quintet,ö explains their author. ôI even sang with the band. That song always swung between super austere and super mid-Æ70s Springsteen/Bowie street-rock. In the end, I decided I wanted both. CouldnÆt really figure out a way to sequence the orchestral version within the record, so I decided to carve it up as a book-ending motif, with the rock version squarely in the middle.ö
