As with so many albums, there is a story behind 'For Their Love', arguably the best from Other Lives since 2011's debut 'Tamer Animals'. It involves songwriter Jesse Tabish relocating from liberal and open-minded Portland to the backwaters of Oregon, moving into a rustic rural home surrounded by the unfathomably vast United States wilderness. A setting that's audible throughout this record. The slow, plodding introduction of 'Sound Of Violence' has more than a few shades of Wild West about it, not least when the track opens into soaring strings invoking great adventure. 'Lost Day' is an altogether darker effort, in many ways capturing the zeitgeist of America's New Wave cinema movement, which often set its scenes in almost-uncharted outback of this vast nation. Musically impressive, thematically challenging - touching on everything from hope to the role of the state in society - it's a huge piece of work to say the least.
