Album Notes
Initial pressing includes bonus acoustic EP.
Copeland: Aaron Marsh (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Bryan Laurenson (guitar, keyboards); James Likeness (bass instrument); Jonathan Bucklew (drums, percussion).
Recording information: 2004.
Copeland's second full-length disc was recorded on the heels of a rigorous touring schedule that included 400 gigs over a 15-month period. The band members' musical familiarity with each other is obvious here, as serpentine guitar lines, tinkling keyboards, and sweet vocal harmonies intertwine as gracefully as veteran ballet dancers. The group combines the best elements of power-pop and emotive rock into an intriguing whole that's equal parts Beach Boys and Jeff Buckley. Frontman Aaron Marsh shares Buckley's propensity for high drama, and also strongly recalls Rufus Wainwright on the melancholy piano ballad "Kite." "Choose the One Who Loves You More," on the other hand, seems inspired by 1980s New Wave of the Tears for Fears variety, complete with synth-like fuzz bass and a danceable beat, while "Pin Your Wings" is catchy, jangly pop of the highest order. Throughout IN MOTION, Copeland drifts through various pop/rock subgenres, while consistently remaining true to its top-notch songcraft.
Industry Reviews
4 out of 5 - IN MOTION is a grand pop album that would've made as much sense in the mid-'90s as it does today.
