Every now and then, musical projects land in my inbox that I, as a rock 'n' roller, should really delete because they're simply not rock 'n' roll. But what they are—and this is where they share the similarity with rock 'n' roll—is emotional. It clicks like the first time I heard "Ace of Spades" in November 1980, even though it isn't "Ace of Spades." Actually, for me, "Ace of Spades" is synonymous with the perfect song that every band has. Really good bands have several "Ace of Spades" in their catalog. After this nothingness, this void of a song, moved me to tears, I checked out their other releases, and in all of them, a hidden key to the deepest inner self seems to reside. In conjunction with the video for "Searching for a Quiet Place," the song grows into a profoundly emotional whole.
