Vancouver based Julian Fane’s second album, “Our New Quarters” is the follow-up to 2004’s acclaimed “Special Forces” and sees far more emphasis on vocal songs than its predecessor. Fane’s new pieces are grounded in live percussion, great swathes of strings, indecipherable high-pitched vocals and lush sweeping synth effects which form their emotional core. The Moon Is Gone, for instance, wallows deliciously in vast guitar-laden melancholy and achieves a pristine beauty almost classical in tone.
