Rising from the ashes of Under the Noise, Ric Nigel has assemble a new trio and
released a debut album under the name of Imbue titled "Resurrected". This time
around he has maintained the creative control that he desired with his previous
project and has worked hard to release an album full of his own personal
passions and influences. Ultimately this makes for a widely divergent album
with a myriad of moods and styles that when taken together as a whole reflect
directly upon the psyche of Imbue. Musically the album is much poppier than the
usual Cop International release. However, don't let that detract from the
compositional brilliance of "Resurrected". The album literally overflows with
ethnic and funk influences as each song evolves it's own particular groove and
vibe. The most Noteworthy track present is 'Rattler' with a stunning vocal
lisp on the part of Ric Nigel, which fits the mood of the sound, in such a
perfect manner that describing it cannot do it justice. The track must be heard
to be properly experienced. The remainder of the album makes use of
minimalistic beat structures and natural, subdued vocals that often start out
slow and quiet, but usually end in a rapid crescendo. Overall, Imbue have
assembled a stellar debut collection of material that suggests that the band
has a very promising career ahead of itself.
Imbue is: Ric Nigel, Tim Phillips, & Jesy Walters
