After debuting in 2011 with the evocative If..., a largely orchestral,
all-instrumental set inspired by author Italo Calvinos 1979 post-modernist novel
If on a Winters Night a Traveler, former Coral guitarist Bill Ryder-Jones seemed
poised to go the film score route, which he had shown interest in shortly after
leaving his flagship band. Instead, he released the lovely A Bad Wind Blows in
My Heart, an equally evocative, yet more traditional collection of songs that
suggest what Nick Drake might have sounded like had he emerged in the early
aughts instead of the late 60s. Measured, melancholy, and mysterious, Jones
debut as a singer/songwriter is as subtle as it is striking, skillfully marrying
the sedate melancholy of Elliott Smith with the sly, darkly comic lyricism of
the National. Recorded in his old childhood bedroom in his mothers house in
Liverpool, A Bad Wind Blows in My Heart can feel a bit like an exorcism, and
theres an extra shade of intimacy to stand-out cuts like the sad and sensual
Hanging Song, the wry, Luke Haines-inspired Youre Getting Like Your Sister, and
the impossibly lonesome Theres a World Between Us, the latter of which is one of
a few songs that threatens to break into Chris Isaaks Wicked Game at any moment,
but it never feels like a self-absorbed, autobiographical bore, as Jones is an
enigmatic enough narrator and a gifted enough arranger that what initially seems
like ephemera turns out to be surprisingly affecting. ~ James Christopher Monger
