Crow and Gazelle (from the album As Above Now So Below available on as a self-release) (by Danny McCloskey)
The easy rhythms of As Above Now So Below cradle the life lessons of the title track. Crow and Gazelle use the same model for the sibling songs on the recent debut release from the Texas-based duo. As Above Now So Below showcases the distinct talents of Crow and Gazelle, Mike McClure (The Great Divide) partners with Crislyn Lawrence (poet, filmmaker, storyteller) The songs on As Above Now So Below follow a theme as the main character, a woman, navigates the shaky ground of a rising rebellion with a man by her side.
Introducing “Mary” in a tale that beckons its lead character to ‘go rest yourself high’ while “You Belong” unfolds against a framework of sharp-angled note patterns and “Still Free to Fly” takes deeps breaths on an ebbing/flowing rhythm. The sound of As Above Now So Below exists on ambient Americana soundscapes. Gossamer wings of melodies drift and cavort as the music of the album opens like flowers on a spring morning with its title track while Crow and Gazelle confidently cast out prayers for the future. Sound rises up on a sonic wave to greet the acoustic strums of “Under the Same Sun” as the song offers a DIY-guide to a better life that makes a circle to include fellow humans. Effervescent strums excitedly make a path for “Love into Zion” as Crow and Gazelle let the rhythms whisper when Crislyn Lawrence’s vocal rises to take the wheel that leads the story while guitar notes sparkle like stars a night sky to surround the tale of “In the Meantime”. Mike McClure’s strong voice takes charge for the resume-like words that stitch personal history into the hope of “These Are the Days” while the rhythms are slow-moving wings that determine the subdued groove of “Blackbird”.
