NADJIA's Enter Trey Cole Album Review
by Azra Pascale
Brilliant, beautifully haunting, and impenetrable are just a few words to describe NADJIA's 2009 album release entitled Enter Trey Cole. Always prolific, NADJIA has conceived their most cohesive and concise collection to date. Enter Trey Cole is a collection of “lost songs” composed over the period of 2002 through 2006 by the band’s mastermind, Mark Williams. During these four years of a prolonged winter’s discontent each song was painstakingly conceived and secretly carried in the womb of thought…. until now.
The first track sets the tone of the album which is dark, brooding and possibly sinister. The voice from the first track tells us to “wake up!” Perhaps we’ve been dreaming all this time, perhaps we’re just living a nightmare. Regardless, it’s a command to rise out of the trance. Pensive, personal, subtle and surprising with moments of cognitive dissonance, it is as though we are invited to journey through what appears to be a desolate trans-siberian landscape of introspection. What we find at the core is more than what is merely at the surface. At least that’s the sentiment we encounter in the following tracks of “Paris Snow” & “Vrykolakas”.
The most jarring sounds come from “Carry the Torch” which elicits visions of an apocalypse brought upon by money, greed and corruption. “My Trusty Spyder” is a catchy instrumental piece with some synth and melodic guitar riffs, by far one of the more palatable tracks. In other words, it goes down very smooth like a glass of Bordeaux. “No Jazz in Hell” surprises us with an unexpected jazz twist. It’s a clever quip to an obviously dark theme. The last track entitled “The Ghost in the Amphora” is gorgeously the most hopeful song in the entire album and is most precisely fitting. Enter Trey Cole as an album in itself is a testament to the human spirit and its quiet strength to persist and endure in this beautiful chaos we call life.
