David Gray, “Gold In A Brass Age” (IHT Records)- David Gray’s eleventh album doesn’t supply any revelatory new lyrical insights into the vagaries of the human condition but could well be the most creatively satisfying collection that the hugely successful singer-songwriter has assembled in many a long year. Elements of gospel, folk and electronica supply the subtle backdrop for this reflective masterwork, with evocative gems such as “The Sapling” and “If 8 Were 9” emerging as two of the musical highlights.
