RecommendCity And Colour is the solo project of one Dallas Green of the Canadian post-hardcore/screamo outfit Alexisonfire. Green unplugs from the harshness of his other band and weaves breathtaking tales of the heart. This was my first introduction to City And Colour and despite my initial hesitance, I must say I was left thoroughly impressed. It is especially true considering that this type of music is usually not what I gravitate towards. But, much like Jose Gonzalez, City And Colour transforms the idea of the mundane singer/songwriter. You can be bold and exciting while still practicing an understated beauty and Bring Me Your Love is proof of that. Green's lyrics are introspective and warm even though they are writhing in melancholy the majority of the time. Instrumentally, the album varies from bare-boned acoustics to fuller arrangements. But no matter the approach, Green creates an often gorgeous but sobering sketch of life and all its trials and tribulations. By the end of Bring Me Your Love it becomes perfectly clear. Dallas Green has found his niche and the harsher sounds of Alexisonfire might be best left in the past. If City And Colour is any indication, his destiny is for greener, more thoughtful pastures.

Enjoyed the melodies... Green has been in a spot to fall flat on his face, and both City and Colour projects are definitive acoustic efforts. Nothing fancy here, but the simplicity coming from the more recognized of Alexisonfire's voices is effective.
