Single Review

Findlay Brown
Losing the Will To Survive Peacefrog

Article written by Paul M - May 27, 2007

If the thought of listening to anything by a singer songwriter fills you with a fear based on years of suffering self indulgent whiny twaddle delivered by someone whose ambitions reach no higher than being the next David Gray, then I�m with you, brother. But the life of a music reviewer means no door should remain permanently shut and even those marked �Polo Necked Nonce With Piccolo - Do Not Open� have to be left slightly ajar. Luckily, there are occasionally surprises and this is one of them. A galloping drumbeat and swift acoustic plucking pitch if this was a meal it would be somewhere between a breakfast of porridge and a lunch of refried beans. Is it celtic mysticism, all billowing mists and huge wicker men or country yeehaw with misbehaving assess? Whichever, I like it, even the ambitious attempt to turn the Jesus and Mary Chain�s Just Like Honey into a �spine tingling� ballad works. I raise my hat. It�s either a Tam O�Shanter or Stetson, I just can�t be sure�
