John Digester has compared writing for Vanden Plas’s new album to that on ‘Far Off Grace’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This eleven-song debut EP shows the promise that Vanden Plas has. After seeing I Can See, I had to have a good Vanden Plas cd. To me Vanden Plas is the best band ever.
|titile| is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in Far Off Grace. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Into The Sun. |titile| is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. Iodic Rain make listening to Vanden Plas like being in some sort of time warp. I Don’t Miss You is such a marvelous and optimistic song that things can get just better. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer. Fields Of Hope is beautiful, yet underrated track. I’m In You is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. I believe Kiss Of Death (Bonustrack) is one of the most astounding, heartfelt songs ever written.
