Tucker Finn's "The Cup & The Lip" is not just an album; it is a work of art that will resonate with early Bob Dylan fans and young adults alike. The compilation is poetic and deeply insightful, giving listeners a look into the life of Tucker Finn, who is already a critically acclaimed songwriter.
The songs are described as "three minute movies that you don’t want to miss," and the album is formatted as a two-act play (it even has a song entitled "The Intermission" which begins by playing music that sounds like the tuning of instruments).
This arrangement is original and unique, but expected from a feature film set designer and a graphic novelist.
The "play" takes you through the life of someone who was heartbroken and abandoned, ending with that person finally moving on by getting rid of a "Cold Paper Heart" (by far, my favorite song on the album).
In the majority of the songs, the music seems to be like a soundtrack for the lyrics, a melodic backdrop for the emotional poetry. The music and lyrics work perfectly together to make this album a powerful and riveting experience that no one should miss.
