Release Notes:
Lucien Caine is a singer, songwriter and composer based in
Manchester.. NOW STOP. Have no preconceptions. Do not picture
Badly Drawn Boy. Do not imagine another Stephen Fretwell. Get
acoustic troubadour out of your head. Lucien Caine is none of
the above! His sound is more John Barry than Nick Drake. His
songs of love, obsession and excess are more Leonard Cohen
than Bob Dylan. The attitude is all Scott Walker and Serge
Gainsbourg transported from the sixties to now.
In the summer of 2008 a plan was hatched to release 4 EP's -
EP1, EP2, EP3, EP4 - in 12 months to show case Lucien's songs.
Following the huge critical success of EP1 released in October
2008 on Tea Time Music (BBC Radio 2 Mark Radcliffe and Stuart
Maconie Record of the Week in October 2008), Lucien will be
releasing EP2 on February 23rd 2009, and it continues where
the first left off. The first track (again mixed by Andy Green
producer of Keane, KT Tunstall, to name but a few) is the
lushly romantic 'The Beat That My Heart Skipped'......imagine
driving along the winding coastal roads of the French Riviera
in a vintage Italian sports car with the top down. This is the
soundtrack that would be playing in your head. The second is
the very dark and lustful 'Internal Affairs'. 'Let Us Be the
Rumour' is a beautifully crafted and intense lament on a
private relationship that becomes public. And finally 'She
Loves to Lose' a gorgeous, seductive and intense duet sang
with the Icelandic chanteuse Heidrun Bjornsdottir (formerly of
GusGus and Gloss).
