Warmer - Wooden Box With Strings - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Warmer Than Gold, the new album from Ben Cook's project GUV, is a document of a life in music, a critical and celebratory travelogue, an attempt to transcend the homogeneous and status-obsessed conditions of the con- temporary world through the use of big beats, big choruses, and distortion.

Warmer Than Gold is the widescreen culmination of all of these threads. The album's music retains the hooky spirit of Cook's previous records, like the acclaimed double albums GUVI & II and GUV III & IV, but it adds a decidedly rhythmic element informed by classic Madchester and Britpop. It smears and soars, it feels like bolting down the M1 Motorway at midnight, propelled by an urgency unseen in Cook's other work. What is retained from those earlier power pop releases, though, is the artist's sharp ear for hooks; now combined with a recharged production sens
