Some Disenchanted Evening is an album by The Verlaines.[4][5] It was released in 1990 on Flying Nun Records.[6]
Critical reception
[edit | edit source]Trouser Press wrote that "the album’s coda, a piano ballad styled after Randy Newman, is actually the collection’s crowning achievement; harnessing a dapper melody to a bitterly sardonic lyric about failure, it reveals new-found subtlety and clarity in [Graeme] Downes’ writing."[7] The New York Times called the album "full of complex melodic variations, crescendos and elegant tempo shifts; the music has the theatrical grandeur of a symphony within the confines of rock."[8]
