Torrent description

The New York-based four-piece Fossil, led by singer Bob OGureck and guitarist Randy Staley, released their self-titled debut in 1995 following the EP Crumb. With bassist Neil Mosc and drummer Tom Cottone rounding out the lineup, Fossil is a consistent, and at times extraordinary, collection of well-crafted pop/rock defined by articulate lyrics and melodic craftsmanship. Moon leads things off with a wall of dense, driving guitars and some clever wordplay. On Tim, the band manages to appropriate the harmonies and vibe of Jellyfish to good effect. Martyrs Wife is a wry look at the life of Jesus from a significant other all over a soundtrack of fuzz-tone guitars and crystalline percussion. And, on Josephine Baker, Staley adds mandolin to the gentle ache of OGurecks lament that he pines for the love of the late entertainer. Fossil has managed to deliver a fresh, intelligent, buoyant pop album with their debut that is a joyful listen from start to finish.
