The Brook Lee Catastrophe - The Weight of Waiting Posted: 16 May 2009 02:34 AM PDT A great discovery that warmed me up during these cold winter months is The Brook Lee Catastrophe. The Weight of Waiting is the second collective effort from this Californian band : a collection of 11 powerful songs : simple and so efficient in both musical and lyrical expression … “We look at the record as a whole, not just a package of songs. It’s a road, with dips and curves, and if every corner looked the same, the ride would get boring really fast. So there are surprises along the way.” Thus explained front man and songwriter Brook Lee in an interview. And dealing with surprise, if the discovery of this band has been a great one, perusing through the whole album was full of rebounds… ‘A mountain of  Little Things‘ is the opening track : a soft string ballad with a delicate melody followed by a fully orchestral drummed catchy piece of chamber folk  entitled ‘Down‘. Then tone is level to a higher range with a 60s reminiscent of an unforgettable  ‘Love is All‘ : it’s ‘Everybody’s Asking‘.  And if these three tracks are already enough to leave you addicted to the band’s arguments ; you’re far from having reached the complete overview on their talents.  The whole album is just perfect from start to end, reaching a musical climax with the center two Constellations tracks and the pure acoustic ‘Big Nothing’ which highlights Brook Lee’s fluent songwriting talent.  Then, then… many other beautifully crafted tunes that will force you to loop this album indefatigably.
