Lonely Boy - Lonely Boy and Other Tragedies
March 7, 2009 – 10:43 am
This LP originally came out in the UK on Filthy Little Angels. I missed it. I got this copy via the label that is releasing the CD in the USA - Series Two Records.
Lonely Boy is a collaboration between Anthony Harding (music) and Eivind Kirkeby (words). After a couple of listens I’m not 100% convinced by Lonely Boy. It’s pleasant enough without ever really grabbing me. It has a nice laid back feel - but I am left wanting something a little more. Something a little more substantial. This record is definitely at the more whimsical end of indiepop - with simple keys and delicate melodies all present and correct - but it’s just a little too lightweight for me to really fall under it’s spell. I am sure it will appeal to those that like old Sarah Records bands and the like. Sadly, it’s not really doing it for me.
