"The horn that interpolates in and out of the music on “Fairlanes Avenue” adds such a beautiful melancholia to it. I was in a real lethargic, empty mood when I listened to this CD for the first time and it was the perfect soundtrack to my disposition at the moment, it didn’t grate or bore or annoy, it just was the perfect atmosphere and flowed smoothly through my brain.
Eight Minutes to Twilight is the brainchild of two Joshes: Messrs. Wright & Howard, a couple of San Diegans who have ditched the typical power-pop vacuity that is associated with Southern California and instead have focused on introverted, emotive compositions that are pleasing musically as well as lyrically apt. “Fairlanes Avenue” is their greeting to the world; it says “Here I am; I hope you’ll like me, but please don’t get too close and smother me…” The sad English horn noodles throughout the opener, “Collision” and really complements the sentiments well. The stark, quietude of “Goodnight Prayers” is haunting. It’s a shivering, lonely cry in the dark and then “Matt” picks up a tad, bringing a hopeful bit of optimism to bear.
While the ethos and attitude is rock ‘n’ roll, the music isn’t brash, ebullient or jarring; it’s more of a brooding, cerebral crooning and a plaintive cry for some kind of release from whatever pain it was born from. Fortunately, though, its wryness and coy jadedness, reminiscent of the hip smugness of Ben Folds, keep “Fairlanes Avenue” from sounding like so much dirge music. But, really, there’s something about this that will not fit in a box so it’s very hard to pin any kind of label on it, I mean, it’s not really rock, per se, but neither is it folk nor jazz, country, soul nor R & B, it’s just honest, bare music and that is so refreshing for a change!"
