About Me |

Having left their hometown of Southend on-Sea and taken up residence in Brighton and Hove (actually) in September 2006, brothers Mik and Rich Hanscomb are set to release album Three via the lovely people at Enraptured Records and Cargo Records on February 18th 2008. Some folks have already started saying nice things… Record Collector: "a lo-fi masterpiece...a delicious brand of bedroom prog-folk...always beautifully melodic and brilliantly arranged" Q magazine: “Mik and Rich Hanscomb make music like no others…creating symphonic pop textures…mixed somewhere between the glistening waves of the Beach Boys and the soft, pastoral lilt of early ‘70s Pink Floyd…a lovely lo-fi ambience” Uncut: “meanders in such pleasantly aimless fashion…Three would soundtrack nature documentaries admirably” The Word magazine: "How is it that there are all these great groups making music all the time? Recently I’ve fallen for Junkboy’s ‘Three’, a collection of toy-shop jazz and bicycle-repair-kit funk-folk..." Clash magazine: "aural deliciousness...sparse instrumentals and Elliot Smith-style cosmic folk tunes collide effortlessly. Junkboy have created a soundtrack with the warmth to see you through the harshest winter, and the breezy ambience to accompany a summer day spent watching the clouds" Wire magazine: "lushly evocative...lovingly arranged, pastoral jazz rock which...sounds like a bold attempt at evoking the unique atmosphere of (the Zombies') Odessey and Oracle" Plan B: "beautiful harmonies and psychedelic country folk... near-perfect enough to almost restore the the dreaded 'mellow' adjective to respectability" Rock Sound: “lush melodies, undulating rhythms and hushed vocals are supremely assured and quietly alluring” Fact magazine Album of the Week: “I'm frequently astounded by the skill that this record is put together with…where have Junkboy been all my life?” Playlouder: “The deeper into it you get, the less you’ll want to resurface…An unexpected pleasure” Amelia’s magazine: “quiet geniuses...the perfect fusion of nature and technology” some bloke from the BBC: "...rather bland like Zero 7" Love for Junkboy's sophomore release, Lost Parade... “Typified by a richly arranged, wistful romanticism, Junkboy’s music effortlessly transcends its home-recorded origins, but it stays true to a bedroom ideal of inwardly directed energies. Even as the layered sophistication reaches out to incorporate muted, serpentine rhythms and dreamy acoustic melodies, at its core it sounds sealed in and personal ” Wire magazine Buy Lost Parade CD for £9.99 delivered: Buy Three CD for £9.99 delivered: |
