Eulogies :: "You Hide"


Eulogies, set for a January 18 Dangerbird Records release, carry such a sad story, it almost doesn't bear repeating. The record, Tear The Fences Down, is based loosely on the emotional trajectory of singer and lyricist Peter Walker after a close friend's young son died of rare cancer. He describes the album as his attempt to dig out, to come to grips. None of this is specifically highlighted on first single, "You Hide," a comparatively effusive rock song featuring a tumbing, infectious chorus. The mediation is a both a question and an accusation: "How do you hide?" None of the darkness of Walker's process is visible but, we assume this doesn't mean it's not there.
