Vinyl LP pressing. Tom Fleming, former Wild Beasts songwriter, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist is back with a new project, One True Pairing. This idea and the expanding themes - male identity, class, taste - are the cornerstones of One True Pairing. "I wanted to write about the real world, I didn't want it to be an artistic, poised, tasteful record," says Tom Fleming of his first solo album, released under the name One True Pairing; "I wanted this to be a rock album, a protest vote against the field of good taste. One True Pairing is a name taken from internet fan fiction, where you write the perfect relationship you always wished existed. The idea of Prince Charming and Helpless Princess living happily after is no fun at all." The former Wild Beasts songwriter, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist is back with a self-titled debut that's shaped by class frustration and self-despair. In it's 11 songs of discordant guitar and aggressive synth Fleming channels his discontent with Britain in 2019 and a "feeling of directionless rage and cheatedness which hasn't gone away." His musical touchstones were Bruce Springsteen, Don Henley, Tom Petty and Def Leppard - "big rock songs, but as it went on it started to be Depeche Mode and noisier stuff, along with Swans and Bonnie Prince Billy and the kids making hip hop, using a kick drum, a high hat and that's it - it's production, it's electronic music, but it's as small as you can make it." This seething blend of difficult emotions is explored in One True Pairing's palette of taut and clipped guitar that flickers between New Wave and even at times 80s MOR titans Dire Straits, looming synths, trickling melodies. Above it all Fleming's voice, ranging from haunting despair to croon like a Yorkshire Scott Walker, is at it's best of his career, giving life to "the angry northern Springsteen record that I'd always wanted to make." He says that "I want to be obvious in what I'm saying - it's neo-heartland rock".

Knowledgeable History; Uncharitable Theological Commentary
Format: Kindle
The author seems incredibly knowledgeable about the topic. I am learning a tremendous amount about the period bridging the Old and New Testament periods by reading this book. However, it is incredibly frustrating to me that the author compares modern day fellow-Christian cessationists with the unbelieving Sanhedrin whom Stephen excoriated in Acts chapter 7.
"The insinuation is that the Holy Spirit, which had inspired the Torah, was the very same spirit who had been prophetically active down to the time of Jesus but whom the Jewish leaders were now railing against. One wonders what words Stephen would have for modern readers who perpetuate the notion of prophetic silence."
At first this passage irritated me as an unnecessary and uncharitable jab. But I decided to write a review to let readers know to be prepared: if you do not have a Grudem-style view of ongoing prophecy, you should expect the author of this book to take cheap and uncharitable jabs, and to compare you to unbelieving Jews who rejected God's word. It actually colors my ability to take the author seriously, though I paid far too much for this book not to persevere through it.
The author could have chosen to take an objective and charitable stance and simply report the facts. I'm surprised an editor didn't encourage the author to restrain his criticisms.
