Description
2015 release. Poison Season opens with Vancouver native Dan Bejar swathed in Hunky Dory strings. He?s a dashboard Bowie surveying four wracked characters?Jesus, Jacob, Judy, Jack?simultaneously Biblical and musical theatre. This bittersweet, Times Square-set fanfare is reprised twice more on the record?first as swaying, saxophone-stoked ?street-rock÷ and then finally as a curtain-closing reverie. ?The first and last songs are actually one song tracked live with quintet,÷ explains their author. ?I even sang with the band. That song always swung between super austere and super mid-?70s Springsteen/Bowie street-rock. In the end, I decided I wanted both. Couldn?t 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.÷
