RobinPlaysChords - Red Admiral LP
red-admiral; a common butterfly (Vanessa atalanta) with reddish-banded wings
After the last notes of 2009’s Paper Skies LP, Robin Johan Jax got his head down to follow it up. Rather than create one album to be flung to the world in one piece, he created a collection of songs to be distributed in easily-digestible (and downloadable) chunks which grew to become the Red Admiral LP. This process took over eight months, due to various obstacles (including depression and swine flu), but from this came a creative drive which spurred the record (and the stand-alone single I Can See For Miles) on to its completion. From the opening track (the symphonic glossolalia of ‘Isis’) to the bitter end (the harrowing, Silent Hill-sampling ‘Little Sparrow’) and every note betwixt, there is a riot going on at various volumes. Red Admiral spans the struggles on the ground between life, death and chrysalis that everyone must go through to eventually flapping their wings and flying to freedom.
