Release Notes:
Gary Go's influences apparently include David Bowie and Nine
Inch Nails but rather than delivering a gender-bending
industrial rock apocalypse he writes epic piano pop that
sounds like Supertramp retooled for the Noughties.
The sparse piano ballad Heart And Soul is catchier than a
mutant strain of the flu and sure to soundtrack one of those
slow motion montages that follow an England football defeat,
while another of the tracks from his forthcoming album, So So,
brings a welcome dose of cynicism to Go's soaring melancholy.
Having spent his youth in Wembley listening to the faint
sounds of bands playing at the stadium Go has developed big
ambitions and looks set to gain the lighters aloft adoration
enjoyed by Snow Patrol and The Feeling. He says his songs are
⌠like self-help guides÷. That's an apt metaphor for his
everyman meditations on love and life, which are sure to be
the soundtrack for a million teenage break-ups next year.
