Free Music Notes for Born in the UK
Free Music Review: Extremely Super-good
Hit: 5 Stars
Damon is an underrated, understated musical composing/performing genius, and our generation is most fortunate to have been bestowed with his wooly and bearded presence.
In a matter of seconds he can shift from causing great amusement with his originality, whit and whimsy, to stirring the deepest of emotions with his sublime effectiveness for describing personal experiences with vivid depictions carved from unexpected lines sung over the most beautiful melodies and warm guitar and piano explorations.
This album here is certainly one of his best, just like the rest of them.
Born in the UK Poster
Special limited edition includes extensive booklet and DVD featuring a documentary, "Born in the UK" video and acoustic performance, and more exclusive behind the scenes footage.With a new record label behind him and his most elaborate and pop-oriented backing music to date, Damon Gough a.k.a. Badly Drawn Boy tackles the subject of his youth in the United Kingdom on this quasi-concept record. The album, which was completely recorded twice, is clearly a watershed moment for Gough, whose lyrics about his native land are often enough unapologetically proud. With more than a little nod to Bruce Springsteen, Gough covers the '70s and '80s in his own country: the Silver Jubilee, nuclear fear, the Falklands War, and everything in between--all in a highly personal way. The piano plus backing band effect at times recalls Billy Joel and Ben Folds. "Welcome to the Overground," with its big, sunshine rainbow backing chorus and piano-driven groove, seems like a lead song from a '70s rock opera about one of the disciples, or some lost Up With People! song. Other tunes, such as "Walk You Home," have an almost yacht-rock sheen to them. Overall, when it doesn't allow sentiment to bleed into overt sentimentality, Born in the U.K. is a moving, cinematic effort. --Mike McGonigal
