‘Tired of You’ – One By One (2002)When you look at an album such as ‘
One By One‘ – an album with the likes of ‘

Tired of You‘ really stands out as a true thing of beauty.
Contemplative lyrics accompany a brooding guitar line of exclusively closed notes in the opening verse, before a second guitar joins the fray with a healthy portion of feedback and coolly plucked notes. A drumless track with no real crescendo, but this is the blueprint for how to build an atmospheric track with feeling and intent.
