It's been awhile since I found a CD where every track offers me something I enjoy, but that's what Jeff Anderson's Seamless does for me. Each track offers a new surprise musically. This guy really has a way with melody and lyrically he encourages, challenges and gives us the feeling that we are not alone in this mess.
Opening track "Open My Eyes" is electrifying and extremely memorable. Here you get the first look at Anderson's yearning vocal approach that permeates the entire project. "Paralyzed" with its easy pop beat and Beatlesque melody speaks of the omnipresence of God that just stops him in his tracks. "I Don't Belong Here" opens with a near perfect combination of melody and lyric for the situation. The song was written after his wife's miscarriage.
I keep feeling helpless, but your grace keeps pouring into my heart.
This day can't last forever. Tomorrow will come, but when will it start.
All the tracks have a kind of worship, heart-on-my-sleeve feel to them. Anderson says they are a series of prayers from the heart. Quite mature of a debut release, Seamless makes me want to know what else Jeff Anderson has waiting for us.
