Alt.rock sideman finds his voice.

A member of Come, Pullman and Evan Dando’s touring band, svelte Bostonian guitarist Brokaw’s fleeting solo career has thus far been restricted to austere instrumental reveries. Dividing the songs between atmospheric rockers and mid-tempo, acoustic-led detours, Incredible Love finally unveils his sandpapery voice, marrying it convincingly with the crisp combo arrangements. It’s still his spidery lead lines that impress most, but when a winning vocal melody is demanded – as on the title track (a brisk cover of the Suicide classic) - he handles it with the swagger of a veteran frontman.


David Sheppard 12 January 06 rating of 4
