Reviews For Those Kodiaks (Red)
Formed by songwriter Terry Bradford and multi-instrumentalist Stuart
Day, Those Kodiaks attempts to combine pop based music with plenty of
acoustic instruments and an occasional excursion into the wilds of folk
music stylings: and to great success. Their pop structure allows plenty
of hooks to these ear-catching songs and their lyrics are far above the
normal pop dreck. the simple beauty of the ballad 'Red Brick' paints a
vivid portrait of suburban life and the stark underbelly of relationships
in this seemingly pleasant environment. Rendered only by voice and acoustic
guitar with a minimum of percussion accompaniment 'Red Brick' underscores
the hidden pain and anguish in a typically normal setting. They
use a country music motif for the catchy 'Talk To An Angel' and their
version of Lyle Lovett's 'God Will' is performed with little adornment
beyond Day's plaintive harmonica.
