Description
Love Come Down is the sophomore solo album by the British singer and songwriter Steve Butler of Talking Drums and Lies Damned Lies fame. The album was recorded April-July 2000 by Jörg Hassenblad at Ocean Wave Studios in Edinburgh, Scotland; and at The Coachhouse in Bristol, England; with Ash Peters producing. Mixed by Hassenblad. All songs written by Steve Butler.
Sticky Music, the Edinburgh independent you read about in the last Cross Rhythms, released ‘Love Come Down’ in 2000 but it’s only now that your fave mag has caught up with a copy. It was well worth the effort. Steve, one third of Lies Damned Lies, has long been one of Christendom’s most underrated songwriters and here shows he’s lost none of his winning ways with evocative lyric and haunting melody. Steve is most effective, and effecting, when his music is left clear and uncluttered and his elegant piano and wheezingly emotive voice can bring home all the poignancy of his imagery, like the song of a lost relationship «My Regrets About You» or his beautiful evocation of the spiritual journey «Heart Of Perfection». An artist of courageous honesty, prepared to depict the failures and frustrations as well as the insights and mountain tops, Steve Butler is a blessing for all those looking for the poetic in the prosaic pond of the pop song. [Tony Cummings, Cross Rhythms, January 2003]
