Last month, Ithaca based singer/songwriter, Brian Bishop, quietly released a startlingly intimate and powerful collection of original folk songs. Rock Songs for Slow Dancers covers a vast expanse of territory and each song seems to takes on a different mental landscape or setting, from the open and pastoral (“Meadow Love”) to the maze like surroundings of a library, “Library Love Song,” from the recesses of desire (“Wake Up”) to the detachment of an individual in a soundless glass elevator (“Like A Child”). Bishop’s penchant for songwriting and his impressive lyricism is heard throughout. Definitely an album to explore from start to finish, especially highlights “Wake Up” and “Flowers.”
