Swordfishtrombones

The seventh studio album 'Swordfishtrombones' by the American singer-songwriter is stylistically different from his previous LPs. The album moves away from the piano and string orchestra arrangements of his late 1970s releases, replacing them instead with unusual instrumentation and a somewhat more abstract songwriting approach. Waits went from '70's-era 'bluesy, boozy' wordsmith and melodist with seven albums behind him to sound sculptor, miner of the subconscious, abstract orchestrator, sonic cubist-while retaining his innate lyricism, melodic invention, humanity.
