R. Stevie Moore - Conscientious Objector

A self-described "work in progress," Conscientious Objector consists primarily of outtakes, demos, and alternate versions of songs from R. Stevie Moore's forthcoming collaboration with Yukio Yung, The Yung and Moore Show. The follow up to the pair's 1997 collaboration Objectivity, The Yung and Moore Show features a full-on return to pop songwriting on Moore's part, to an extent not seen since the days of Teenage Spectacular. Even in these somewhat rough forms, the sparkling brilliance of songs like "Schwanns Catalog" and "Name Tag the Entertainer" is clear, and the two newly enhanced versions of two of Moore's most beloved songs, "Everything" and "I Go Into Your Mind" are sublime, with Yung's sensitive rearrangements supporting some of Moore's best vocal performances in some years. Read More
