Gavin Friday | Ecce Homo | CD 663

Gavin Friday's much-awaited album, 'Ecce Homo', is his first in over thirteen years. It is a work that heralds a fuller, more sonorous, form of expression for this ever-evolving artist, one that transcends the prescribed conventions of genre, breaks new ground and brooks no compromise. Where loss, filial grief, remorse and existential disquiet were the more conspicuous tenets of Friday's 2011 release, 'Catholic', the presiding spirit of 'Ecce Homo' is altogether freer, less shackled, and sovereign - indomitable, too. Self-tyranny and its capitulations have here been sublimated into strength and enduring triumph. The credo is that of a man beheld, yes, but never beholden.
