Heathen marks a new beginning for David Bowie in some ways
it’s his first record since leaving Virgin his first for
Columbia Records his first for his new label ISO — yet it’s
hardly a new musical direction. Like Hours this finds Bowie
sifting through the sounds of his past completely at ease with
his legacy crafting a colorful satisfying album that feels like
a classic Bowie album. That’s not to say that Heathen recalls any
particular album or any era in specific yet there’s a deliberate
attempt to recapture the atmosphere the tone of his ’70s work
there’s a reason that Bowie decided to reteam with Tony Visconti
the co-producer of some of his best records for this album
even if direct comparisons are hard to come by. Which is exactly
what’s so impressive about this album. Bowie and Visconti never
shy away from electronic instrumentations or modern production
if anything they embrace it — but it’s woven into Bowie’s sound
subtly never drawing attention to the drum loops guitar synths
and washes of electronica. For that matter guest spots by Dave
Grohl and Pete Townshend (both on guitar) don’t stand out either;
they’re merely added texture to this an album that’s intricately
layered but always plays smoothly and alluringly. And make no
mistake this is an alluring welcoming friendly album — there
are some moody moments but Bowie takes Neil Young’s eerie I’ve
Been Waiting for You and Pixies’ elusively brutal creepy
Cactus and turns them sweet which isn’t necessarily a bad
thing either. In the end that’s the key to Heathen — the
undercurrent of happiness not in the lyrics but in the making
of music a realization by Bowie and Visconti alike that they are
perfect collaborators. Unlike their previous albums together
this doesn’t boldly break new ground but that’s because 22
years after their last collaboration Scary Monsters both Bowie
and Visconti don’t need to try as hard so they just focus on the
craft. The result is an understated utterly satisfying record
his best since Scary Monsters simply because he’d never sounded
as assured and consistent since
