Sometime Anywhere

Untitled

After 1992's masterpiece Priest=Aura, Peter Koppes departed the band and replacment drummer Jay Dee Daugherty found other work, The Church was now down to its two remaining founders, Steve Kilbey and Marty Willson-Piper who soldiered on to create the majestic yet sometimes uneven Sometime Anywhere.

Playing nearly all of the instruments themselves, save for newly hired drummer Tim Powles (who would later become a full fledged member of the Church before the end of the decade) the music has a distinct eastern tinge to the procedings. Yet the songwriting remains excellent throughout especially on Two Places at Once, an atypical duet between Willson-Piper and Kilbey that is etheral and breathtaking in its acoustic beauty and soaring chorus.
