Album Review: The Rest Is Scenery by Richard Youngs
Fairly Good, Based on 3 Critics
Based on rating 7/10
Despite self-imposed strategic boundaries, The Rest Is Scenery is a remarkably free and unfettered album. Most artists couldn't conceive of such a thing, let alone pull it off; Youngs does it in spades..
Based on rating 3/5
Across his enormous discography of 100-plus releases, the Glasgow-based sonic shaman Richard Youngs has had one foot in English folk traditions and the other in avant-garde experimentation. Young is classically trained, but beholden to the values of punk rock and for this collection he has decided to throw technical competence out of the window by basing each song around the strumming of a single chord. These tunes can thus, in theory, be covered by anyone within hours of picking up a guitar.
Opinion: Very Good
