ALBUM REVIEW: Dru Cutler Familiar

In the opening track, Dru Cutler paints a portrait of nostalgia’s two-sided face. Starting with soft piano and dense cymbals, “Familiar” begins as a longing reminiscence but progresses to a stark rebuttal. The transformation of feeling is slow, subtle and creeping. Like nostalgia’s poison. Yet Familiar is much more than piano and fondly held memories.

It is fitting that “Ghost” follows “Familiar.” Nostalgia and detachment are bedfellows, and piecing them together is an artistic statement in itself. While the mood of “Familiar”  gradually rose and fell, “Ghost” instead uses abrupt changes to give itself impact. When Cutler sings, the music itself is distant and placid. But when he stops and lets his music speak, tension erupts via cymbals and guitar. His words tell but barely feel. When he croons the melody, detachment’s frustrated longing is felt.

The third track, “You and Me and the System” is already finding itself in some of my playlists. It’s a driving song, beginning in hope but ending in nothingness. The bass and piano lines are tasty. The few lyrics of “You and Me and the System” carry a heavy weight, but its power comes from the mourning of its ambient sections. In this song, the system wins.

“Pictures Made with You” is the sixth song in Familiar, and it seems to be a story of lost love told in fragments. The lyrics themselves come in snippets. “Innocent curfew / camera fall / capture our time / I’ve / got you / killing time,” incomplete pictures themselves of a broken story. The broken fragments Cutler reveals are happy snippets atop a moving bassline, but when the words stop there is a longing and mourning in his voice that is palpable. In truth, the only complete message comes at the end - “I made them you,” a repeated refrain, an admission of memory’s lies.

“In the City” follows immediately after, and like every song so far, its lyrics hide its truths. “Nothing feels better than blood / on blood,” and “when you cross that line / I’ll be right behind / I won’t hesitate / or doubt it,” make me think it is another song of loss. I cannot help but remember the opening “Familiar” and its nostalgia. The eighth track, a short, lyricless “You Face Forever,” helps me finally realize that this is an entire album about love and loss. Maybe even death.

Familiar reveals Cutler to be a multifaceted, heartfelt musician. One capable of subtly and unsubtly bringing forth his emotions through his works. Familiar itself is an album says more than its chosen words imply, and is best listened to as a whole. It leaves me very excited to follow Cutler’s progression as an artist.

The cold, dark winter months, combined with the wrong attitude, can add up to a quarter of the year spent griping about the weather and its inconveniences. Change your outlook by embracing the magical Danish idea of hygge (pronounced hoog-ah), which translates loosely to the mindset of coziness.
