Description
Chris Thile's Deciever is a broad leap from his work with Nickel Creek and his previous instrumental records. Thile plays over 25 instruments on this album – not only his signature mandolin but also electric guitars, violin, viola, cello, varying bass instruments, drums, piano, Wurlitzer, B-3, bouzouki and more. He is the sole musician, vocalist and songwriter on the album, and co-produced the project with engineer Gary Paczosa. This is the fifth solo album from Thile: his first was issued on Sugar Hill when he was 13 years old, after picking up the mandolin at the age of 5 and forming the Grammy-winning Nickel Creek band at the age of 8. Now aged 23, Thile is widely regarded as one of the finest mandolinists in the world, and has always enthusiastically pushed the limits of his craft. Here the opening track begins deceptively with trickling piano, but builds into an anguished reflection on young love. "Locking Doors" blends rock with shades of old-school jazz, violins and modern pop sensibilities. "The Believer" explores perceptions of faith, while "Empire Falls" is inspired by the Pulitzer prize-winning novel. The album's layered parts are divided by two mandolin solos, which Thile describes as "palette cleansers." -
