Adam Miner is an Ontario native who’s been playing the Canadian pop circuit for a long time. His latest album “Dangerous Eyes” has intricate arrangements and melodic layers over each song. Vocally he drifts from Chiff Hillis to Eric Matthews a bit, but has his own unique vocal cadence. The album is beautifully polished with a clean production style. “Fool” uses dramatic grand sweeping structure with a bit of Beatles’ “Here There and Everywhere” mixed with ELO’s “Mr. Blue Sky” including strings and percussion. It’s these densely packed treats that prove Adam is no mere singer/songwriter. “Mother Night” and “Nobody Notices” has a bit of 70’s AOR flavor and after hearing this, somewhere in Canada, Chilliwack fans are smiling. “Lies We Tell” is a great song best described as Alan Parsons Project meets The Posies. Each song has it’s own melodic surprises, although the title track has my favorite chord changes and a catchy chorus. Pick up this on at CD Baby.
