Ever wished that you could cross Gentle Friendly and Small Black to make a beautiful and wondrous Gentle Black? Friendly Small perhaps? I know I certainly have. And wouldn't the sound you made be deep? Very deep? Well, it would be Deep Sht, in fact - our band of the day. What's that you say? You'd even add some more poppy hooks? Well, in that case, this guy has just come up trumps on all counts.
His sound, as you can imagine, is scuzzy enough to satisfy the most scuzz-obsessed of us, and it's just lovely. The tracks are mainly short bursts of thoughtful, summery deliciousness, although word has it that they're coming from a darker, cynical sort of standpoint on his part. Maybe I just think it's summery cos it's sunny outside.
Anyway, he sometimes has some other people to help him out with playing his scuzz, and you can possibly see this happen at London's 1234 Shoreditch Festival on Saturday 24th July. For now, though, please do check out his Myspace page, or, better still, download his debut release, 'Weird You', available from emusic.com
