Popmatters review of Jason Falkners new E.P., "Bliss Descending."
"Feeling No Pain" tells of being hoodwinked into love with a silver-tongued hussy who turns ugly, and contains one of the most infectious guitar hook lines I've heard in some time. Falkner finds another intriguing time signature, and assembles around it a classic pop concoction with dark overtones and all kinds of musical accent flavors. Again, to say Falkner's studio talents are impressive is an understatement – his layers and sounds are of a whole, never sounding anything less than that of a tight band at work.
