February 24th 2004: Dog Eared by Cerveris


Nothing is quite as compelling on record as the restless fluctuations of the fractured heart, as singer/songwriter Michael Cerveris proves on his ferocious and fragile solo debut album "dog eared". From the rolling anthem "SPCA" (Cerveris' cheeky, power-pop collaboration co-written and sung with Sleater-Kinney's Corin Tucker) to the melancholy, but muscular musings of "Can't Feel My Soul" and "Snowbound", "dog eared" is Cerveris' lush declaration of liberation not only from lousy love affairs, but from his parallel life as a critically-acclaimed, Tony-nominated actor -- an extraordinary, but convoluted path for a rock musician. "dog eared" is a unique, confessional "family" project for Cerveris, encompassing the skills of his diverse network of musicians and friends, including members of Sonic Youth, Teenage Fanclub, They Might Be Giants, Psychedelic Furs and strings arranged by David Arnold (Bjork).
