On Tara Jane O'Neil's second release, <I>In the Sun Lines</I>, all the skilled recording and mixing of performances by Rachel Grimes (Rachel's), Samara Lubelski (the Sonora Pine), and Dan Littleton and Ida Pearle (Ida) was handled by O'Neil herself with impressive dexterity. She pays homage to (or borrows unabashedly from) the complex songs of Talk Talk and Brian Eno. Expertly layering live performance textures, delicate vocals, and shivery instrumental loops, she creates spacious songs that betray her roots in the super-influential Louisville band Rodan and belie her relative newcomer status to the mixing board. O'Neil's music is incredibly dynamic within its stylistic confines. It seamlessly swells, crescendos, and recedes, incorporates complex vocal arrangements usually reserved for Gregorian chant, and so on, but for a more casual listener, it may never shrug off the oppressive gloominess that colors the record with the broadest of strokes. While this makes the album too heavy for everyday use, it certainly makes for great rainy-day music. <I>--Sarah Sternau</I>

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars "Difficult second title" made excellent.......2003-04-06

Tara Jane's music is perhaps not easy to catch with, but it's worth trying hard. Her guitar performance is faultless and original, guest musicians help make this album even stronger. The biggest surprise is warm, sunny "Sweet Bargaining", and the duet with Ida's Dan Littleton, "Your Rats Are" is enchanting.
