Civil Wars

A candid observer of love, hate and all that is between, David Singer's heartfelt rock confessionals are an open dialogue of orchestral pop, fresh melodicism and mesmerizing poetry. His sophomore release, Civil Wars, scratches beneath the seemingly peaceful exterior of family life to reveal the true battleground, the domestic turmoil, the front for our most painful encounters. Obsessed with the sad irony of how we are often most vicious to the ones we are closest to, Singer unveils his innermost struggle through a complex range of subtle storytelling and catchy melody. He conveys an elaborate flood of emotion...everything from tender doubt to painful curiosity to ironic introspection. This highly accomplished collection of soothing, piano-driven ballads and intellectual rockers simply defies most categories. (Deep Elm)
