Unlike the stripped-down acoustic timbre of "The End of History", his newest offering is saturated w/ electric guitars & a backing band. Fionn evokes a Bob Dylan-esque rollicking vocal style across most of "The Shadow of an Empire" - think "Subterranean Homesick Blues" - while adding his own unique spin to the equation. He's always been one for fresh, poetic lyrics, & he certainly continues that tradition here. He even rhymes "glasses" w/ "Mr. Onassis". Fionn is quite the clever cat.
*UPDATE: Received a complaint from Blogger about hosting the album & mp3s. Had to delete the content.
