Free Music Notes for Hand Built by Robots
Free Music Review: Brilliant!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Amazing Album, First saw this guy opening up for John Mayer at THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL last year, was looking forward to hearing more. Not many CD's have that 'play all the way through from start to finish, never skip a song' thing going for them. In my collection of a few hundred barely a handful fit this bill. This however goes right in there amongst them. Superb, thats all I can say, every song is a winner and the tunes are catchy but still different from a lot of things out there.
Great album and Recommend it to anyway who enjoys the superb playing of acoustic guitar and great catchy songs!!
Hand Built by Robots Poster
Newton Faulkner has toured with Paulo Nutini and James Morrison. You hear this fact far more often than you have to--it might have made sense to expose his palatable acoustic tinkerings to those massive audiences, but that association leaves too simplistic an impression. He specialises in partially progressive, free-willed folk-pop that is on one hand too cosy and warm for mass consumption--there's only so much space around the beach campfire--but on the other it's so accessible, so infectious, so feel-good that how could it not be headed for every other car stereo in the country, windows rolled down (weather permitting). It's not cutting edge by any stretch of the imagination; he constantly reminds of the acoustic balladry of 90s soft-metal bands Extreme and Mr Big (or at least the songs "More than Words" and "To Be with You") via modern day peers like Ben Harper, but Newton Faulkner comes with a fertile imagination and an enjoyably flexible range to dress that foundation up. His gravelly cover of Massive Attack's "Teardrop" is notable and Jack Johnson's a good reference for the percussive plucking of tunes like "Gone in the Morning", "To the Light" and "Feels Like Home". There are very few 17-track albums that couldn't be improved by losing six tracks, but the consistency on Hand Built by Robots is admirable and hints at a long term talent. --James Berry2007 debut album from the young singer/songwriter making waves on both sides of the pond with his melodic and mesmerizing approach to his craft. Fans of Jack Johnson, Donovan Frankenreiter and Paulo Nutini have been enchanted by his opening spots on recent tours and word-of-mouth via Myspace has helped to build an audience who are anxiously awaiting the release of this album. 17 tracks including the singles 'I Need Something' and 'Dream Catch Me'. RCA.

His Debut Single, "Full Fat EP", Hit the Top of Amazon's Singles Charts with Virtually No Promotion at All! Faulkner's Laidback Scat Singing and Gutsy Holler, Shuffling Beats, Blues Riffs, Intelligent/Tongue-in-cheek Lyrics and String Tapping Are Just Some of Reasons Why Audiences Seem to Light to Him So Quickly. His Live Performance Style is Well Honed and Instantly Endears Him to his Ever-expanding Audience. Among the Songs Here is his Daring Cover of Massive Attack's "Teardrop", Presenting the Song that Featured Cocteau Twins Liz Fraser Singing Lead in a Whole New Light.
