If David Poe is exploring the mystery of pop, The Late Album is his searchlight. The Late Album sheds light on the dark stuff at a seductive pace. Poe revels in the roguish eclecticism that marked his universally acclaimed debut, his charmed voice floating with grave finesse over guitars, drums and orchestras. Recorded in five different locations over one and a half years, The Late Album was produced primarily by classic modernist Brad Jones (Imperial Drag, Matthew Sweet) with contributions by Steven Rosenthal (Rolling Stones, Lou Reed), Daniel Wise (Maceo Parker, Joan Osborne), electronic duo Good & Evil, (The Chocolate Genius, Elysian Fields) and Poe himself, who's produced solo debuts for Kraig Jarrett Johnson, Regina Spektor, Jenifer Jackson and Melissa Sheehan. Notable guest musicians include Gary Louris and Kraig Jarrett Johnson of the Jayhawks, multi-instrumentalist Al Perkins (Gram Parsons, Rolling Stones) and unsigned New York-based geniuses Jenifer Jackson and Morgan Taylor. Taylor and hotshot pianist Fil Krohnengold often accompany Poe onstage. And though the writer figures the songs were composed in at least ten cities, he says they were mostly conceived at night. "It's late in more ways than one. But the longer approach to the process allowed for the rad, organic recordings to coexist peacefully with the obligatory, crass attempts at commercial success," David jokes, hopefully. "It was fun to make, and I look forward to hearing the songs grow up and change onstage."

Professional Reviews

Rolling Stone 6 of 10
If on his eponymous freshman release David Poe was brilliantly brooding in bedroom melancholia, the long-awaited The Late Album finds the alt-folker peeking out to see himself reflected in the world--from "Childbearing," which parallels the sadness of three couples, to the cowboy-voiced gospel of the eulogistic "Deathwatch for a Living Legend."... Poe is still a poet; but here, every line reads more like one from a journal, instead of a diary. - Robin Aigner
