The Cornelius Eady Trio, composed of himself alongside musicians Charlie Rauth and Lisa Liu, create a compelling world of melodies and intriguing sounds that hail from blues and hard rock all the way to funk and electronics. It’s a thrilling journey across an entire universe of music mixed together with impeccable taste and elegance. On The Misery Tree the trio sound more in tune with each other than ever, making room for experimental inclinations that feel organic and cement the talented trio as true trailblazers within the New York music scene.
Hailing from a poignant and somewhat cynical look at the contemporary politics, The Misery Tree is a masterclass of songwriting that feels timeless and extremely interesting. Backed by strong lyrics that make thought-provoking commentary on the turbulent scenario we all find ourselves in, Cornelius manages to sound both subtle and urgent on his vocal delivery in an almost unsettling way. Featuring a tight production and excellent musicianship, The Misery Tree offers a unique perspective on the world at large as well as an expansive look on music as a whole.
Ultimately, what makes The Misery Tree such a distinguishable listen is the overflowing synergy between the musicians involved. Everyone is at their absolute best on this record, channelling the intimacy of an unpretentious jam session in which every idea is a good idea. There is a sense of ‘yes, and…’ that prevails across this project that makes it feel alive and interesting like a really good improv group – illustrated perfectly by “Parts Unknown”, the emotional centerpiece of the record that bubbles like a geyser just waiting for the right time to explode.
There is a sense of quiet rage that comes across amazingly well, especially on the acoustic and melodic tracks like “Shuck N Jive”; like Cornelius is taking upon himself to express the collective feelings of frustration and unease we all experience. A highly political record, The Misery Tree is a poetic outlook on what is wrong in today’s world with a wide range of both introspection and explosive melodies like on stunning opener “Zombie”.
The Cornelius Eady Trio delivers an impressive record that, amid all political chaos, comes across as a hopeful reminder that things can change for the better through art. It’s a moving and passionate collection of songs that cover social and political issues with heartwarming sincerity, displaying discontentment through gentleness and a calming sense of relentlessness in its message. The Misery Tree stands tall as a response to pressing struggles with poise and grace, showing a band painfully aware of their surroundings and willing to do whatever it takes to shine their light and make the world a better place for everyone.
