Heart Over Mind / Dave Mann Collective
REVIEWS / EXTRA INFO
Source: Xpress Magazine The anticipated follow-up from the DMC has finally arrived. Clocking in at just over an hour, the collection of 14 songs encompasses two sides of this dynamic group - consisting of Dave Mann on guitar, Roy Martinez on bass and Jade Masters on percussion. The first half is a full on mix of bluesy, crowd pleasing rock with live favourites All That I Want, Fishing, We�ll Be Fine and Everybody�s Girl and the like getting the studio treatment, with the long polishing period paying dividends. Title track Heart Over Mind signals a change of pace to slower, more atmospheric numbers - including the mesmerising track Reach Out (inspired by the movie Rabbit Proof Fence) along with the songs about loneliness on the road and love in Locked Out and Grace Emily, which introduce some effective keyboard and string highlights. Whilst the second half risks some overproduction on Crashing Down, the overall album is a damn fine package from these local lads, showcasing everything that is great about this band�s song writing, musicianship and powerhouse live shows. |
