| | | | Any attempts at modern comparisons don’t quite get to the heart of David Ford.
To find his actual peers you have to go back to some of the great curveball mavericks of melody, romance and inventiveness.
Artists such as Tom Waits, Neil Young and Todd Rungren, whose haunting, harmonious melodies are frequently offset by barbed, poignant lyrics.
I Sincerely Apologise For All The Trouble I’ve Caused is an album of words and melodies that whisper and shout defiantly at the constant disappointments that litter our lives.
Very much an advocator of the DIY approach, Ford recorded the album in the cellar of his Lewes flat.
Ford is set to release the follow up to I Sincerely Apologise… in September and once again he is ‘doing it all himself” although this time round he’ll be joined by, amongst others, legendary pedal steel player BJ Cole. | | | | | |
