He Took You in His Arms 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
