Help Wanted
Recorded entirely in analog at the Joshua Trees Rancho de la Luna studio where Quinn is a partner, "Help Wanted" looks at the state of love and war at the turn of the millennium with healthy tamping and ultimately hard-won faith. From "La Porte, Indiana," a minimalist, dream-bound meditation in his hometown, to "Death of Cool," a rich, spector-esque wall of sound that addresses the cruelty of modern society, Quinn shares his poet's soul with a voice filled with haunting emotions. This voice swings through a variety of styles, making each his own Hamilton Camp's classic anti-war song "Pride of Man," the catchy hooks and post-techno keyboards of "Apocalypse No," the Motown-via transistor functionance in "Tar Beach," the upbeat mantra "Don't/Shoot", and the spacious "Tibetan Bells Biczeau". " are are sonical Different - varied and never disappear. Shatterproof. The terrain of the heart will explore unpatchingly through. "If U Do" is a mystery of love and impending loss. "Dave's Song (If That's What You Wanted)" responds to a friend's suicide. Finally, in "Orange Sunshine", the glowing light of the sunrise streams through orange curtains, reminiscent of loved ones. Nor has Quinn afraid to dig beneath the surface of current events and pieces of the American soul in such songs as '29 Palms', written for a marine widow, 'Millilions & Millilions', a very, honest look at American values (manages Oprah and Deepak Chopra in the process of rhyming), and 'Sky Cathedral. ' a title comes from a piece of art destroyed at the World Trade Center. Opening doors, singing birds, marching peace, and news throwing complete these 67 beautiful minutes of love and loss, despair and redemption.
