Chris Anderson is the brains behind Crayola Lectern.The new release, Happy Endings is a collection of songs,masterfully arranged and orchestrated.Some tracks remind me of Cardiacs;i get a hint of Robert Wyatt or Peter Gabriel from other tunes.What matters is the skill with which Anderson uses his influences to craft a coherent, tuneful album.Even the vocals don't get on my nerves(unusual,for me).
A couple of musicians on the album have played in Cardiacs.The songs reveal more of themselves with every listen.A winner.
