notes
Christopher Francis plays microphones and mechanical objects. In public he plays the role of the crooner and has been known to stomp madly; this is certainly a compelling embellishment. This CD called Like Rasputin was made as a motion of closure. Absentee then died away and became Son.
People say:
"His passion is equal to Jeff Buckley and his voice is strong like bull... His album features the accompaniment of 2 friends playing the cello and violin, some electronic influence of the digital persuasion, and the visual breadth of the Grand Canyon. This man will carve out your heart and you will let him." - David Hausmann, Owner, Relative Theory Records
"A sonic Hai Karate slap." - Sam McDonald, Daily Press
"The 6 short tracks create a sonic atmosphere where voice, sparse electronic sounds and acoustic guitar are the airy tension hovering above the fluid subject, like fog over a quiet lake on a cold misty morning. This is a must for fans of the 4AD label." - Jeff Maisey, Ninevolt Magazine
Also, 7 out of 10 people agree that Like Rasputin is make-out music.
