About
During the course of a three-album career as Knapsack's
singer/front-personality, Blair Shehan wrote some of the catchiest, sharpest
Emo-Pop songs this side of the Promise Ring. His most phenomenal attribute
is probably his voice. Its dynamic, jet fighter-like shrieks and seething
yet calming tones have been the focal point of all his music for good
reason -- no one sounds like Blair Shehan. Jealous Sound, his new solo
effort, offers a bit more method and a little less madness, and possibly
picks up where Knapsack's final and best album, 1998's This Conversation
Is Ending Starting Right Now, left off. Jealous Sound's crafty songs --
featuring piano and patient, mature songwriting and arranging, in addition
to the usual bass, guitar and drums -- hint at great things to come.
