Cory Chisel's debut full-length album Death Won't Send A Letter follows his critically acclaimed EP released in the summer of '08. As with that self-titled released, his new album (out September 29th) is a work of exquisite musical beauty, dark and urgent but in the same sense reassuring. His new songs seek to make sense of the world, answering a call from the road while longing for home. Cory has transformed into an artist with a wonderful knack of telling a story in a unique manner, allowing that being a bit emotionally vulnerable doesn't mean you are anything less of a being. Cory worked with his excellent backing vocalist/keyboard player Adriel Harris on the album, and The Raconteurs Little Jack Lawrence also was part of the initial tracking. The result is a gutsier rhythm, but doesn't overwhelm Cory's vocals in any way. Another excellent release in what seems to have been a good week for new music.
