Between his work with Beat Rodeo, the Schramms, the Bongos, the Health & Happiness Show, and Edward Rogers, George Usher has a resume that would raise the eyebrows of most fans of roots rock or contemporary power pop, but he's chosen to turn his talents in a decidedly different direction on his fifth solo album, YOURS AND NOT YOURS. This set is a collection of subdued chamber pop tunes, most accompanied by a small acoustic ensemble or a string section, and the tone is gently downbeat, with Usher's songs dominated by tales of relationships that have broken down or choices that didn't work out. YOURS AND NOT YOURS would probably be a bad choice for a party on Saturday night, but if you're looking for mood music for a rainy autumn afternoon, you'd be hard-pressed to do better than this study of love among the ruins.
