The Canvas Tears, tears down the house| Posted March 16, 2009
Geoff and the rest of the guys in The Contact have had this album done for a while now having finished it in 2007, but it is just now getting the attention and distribution (via 7spin) here in the states. This album is one that many have been praying for, for a long time. For fans of secular acts like Radiohead, Elbow and other smart rock bands this is a must. Geoff's vocal's vary from sounding like Radiohead on the edgier tracks to Snow Patrol on some of the more mellow tracks. Black Sea, the first single off of Canvas Tears is a spectacular track, and has the moodiness of Depeche Mode but still the feel and sound of Radiohead. I cannot get over how good this album is, especially considering how little attention it has received. This album is a must and should be part of any collection. It is the perfect compliment to any cd self already stacked high with cd's by the Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Mutemath, Depeche Mode, or Elbow. GET IT! You Won't regret it.
