User:Fcgier/Mouth by Mouth

Mouth by Mouth is a 1993 album by Indie-rock band His Name Is Alive. It is generally considered to be the band's artistic high point, by critics as well as fans. It builds on the group's earlier, ethereal, goth-tinged work by adding greater pop structure and sensibility, and by incorporating elements of folk music, progressive rock, and Sonic Youth style noise guitar passages. The individual songs vary widely in style and sound, but the songwriting and music vision of group mastermind Warren DeFever, as well as the haunting vocals of lead singer Karin Oliver, give the album as a whole a unified feel in spite of its diversity. Mouth by Mouth would prove to be a transitional album, as well, retaining some of the atmospheric sound of preceding albums while pointing the way towards the pop and soul pastiches which would follow it.
