The newest Crash Test Dummies CD is a melancholy collection of songs. Some are songs of love and hope; others are much darker, and even at times apocalyptic. Brad Roberts has teamed up with producer Scott Harding to produce this lush recording, made in an old Catholic church in Duluth, Minnesota. The combination of the massive 19th century pipe organ and the enormous resonance of the room make this record the most haunting Crash Test Dummies record yet. Many other unconventional instruments appear on the record as well, including the harp and kettle drums. Guest appearances include Suzzy Roche, who sings some sonnets with Mr. Roberts. Founding member and back up vocalist Ellen Reid harmonizes beautifully all over the record. Never have Mr. Roberts and Ms. Reid sounded quite this good together.
