Fire Drill Review:
If you are looking for an album that will challenge you, entrance you and mystify you then look no further then Chet's new long player Chelsea Silver, Please Come Home. Ryan Beattie is the main singer-songwriter behind the band from rural Western Canada, that includes his brother Patrick and some quality musical friends. Chelsea Silver, Please Come Home is the groups fourth record but first to get outside the Canadian border. With a soaring falsetto like Jeff Buckley and Fleet Foxes type harmonies, Chet successfully take you on a journey in songs like the 13 plus minute "An Abiding Love Despite Adversarial Vice" and the opening 7 minute "The Night The Night". The key about this record is that you won't get lost in the art side because Chet bring it all together with the inclusion of shorter catchy tracks like "Saint Jerome, My Baby Tames Lions" and the simple two minute mostly acoustic closer "Allerseelen". This diversity showcases the many interesting facets of Chet that should have you seeking out the group to experience them for yourself!
