[SACD-R][OF] Feeder – Comfort In Sound - 2002 (Alternative Rock, Indie)

Comfort in Sound is the fourth studio album by the British rock band Feeder earlier in the year. The album was recorded at RAK Studios in London during most of 2002, and was produced by Gil Norton.

Following a return to the live stage after Jon's suicide, by playing low-key slots at various festivals in the United Kingdom, the album was released after “Come Back Around” was released as a single. Three further singles—”Just the Way I’m Feeling”, “Forget About Tomorrow” and “Find the Colour”—followed the album’s release. The album received positive reviews from the music press and was received well by the public, reaching number six on the UK Albums Chart. Although charting one place lower than predecessor Echo Park, Comfort in Sound had a much stronger chart run of 36 weeks on the weekly top 75 album chart, in comparison to the nine weeks of Echo Park.

Due to containing their second top ten single “Just the Way I’m Feeling”, which gave them a more stronger audience and return to mainstream attention, while being the last album they released before headlining arenas for the first time, alongside selling 503,706 units in the United Kingdom, Comfort in Sound is seen as a major commercial success.

When Feeder drummer Jon Lee unexpectedly took his own life in January 2002, the fate of the band was in question. Founding members Grant Nicholas and Taka Hirose had reservations about carrying on without their mate; however, Lee’s family urged them to continue. Nicholas and Hirose and ex-Skunk Anansie drummer Mark Richardson spent most of that year crafting a dark, reflective set of songs. Comfort in Sound is Feeder’s fourth album and a touching tribute to Lee. Featuring Feeder’s most intimate and cohesive material to date, Comfort in Sound finds the group’s peace of mind, but the album as a whole isn’t exactly uplifting. The post-alternative mix of acoustic and electric guitars works with Nicholas’ obvious emotional struggles. Moods and tempos are consistent in change, and such moves make Comfort in Sound as solid as it is. From the crunchy licks of “Come Back Around” to the positive energy of “Forget About Tomorrow,” Comfort in Sound waltzes along without getting lost in song and craft. This album was a journey for Nicholas and Hirose. They came out on the other side with a greater appreciation for Feeder and a brand new musical freshness. Comfort in Sound is their proof of surviving tragedy and it’s a great moment.
