Having already charmed the U.K. press, Manchester’s Money have released their debut album, Shadow of Heaven in the U.S.—where Money’s love for British groups of past decades may lead to a quizzical "huh?" from American music fans who never got too familiar with The Verve—or even Echo & The Bunnymen—beyond their "hits." Will Money’s frontman, Jamie Lee, change things? Likely not, but that’s no reason for discerning lovers of melody and romance to ignore the beauty and grace of “Who’s Going to Love You Now”: the second track and one of the few that doesn’t expand beyond the five-minute mark, settling as it does for merely four. This epic scope of the seven-minute “Goodnight London” naturally starts at the piano, but it’s the psychedelic atmospherics of “Bluebell Fields” that immediately flourish into a subliminal melody and bizarre arrangement that sound like Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness being brought to life in a recording studio. “Cold Water” and “The Cruelty of Godliness” leave Lee somewhat naked; the arrangements are far less overwhelming, but redolent of Antony & The Johnsons at their most pained.
