Sounds Like: : Lucky Soul http://luckysoullondon.bebo.com/ ...Exquisitely understated songs about heartache, loneliness and smalltown despair...as if Petula Clark had been touched by Phil Spector's production alchemy... The Guardian May 2007 ...Lucky Soul are a band to fall in love with...This is heartache you can sway to... Independent on Sunday May 2007 ...A glorious collection of pop symphonies...it's hard not to be won over... **** Uncut May 2007 ...Freeway pop at its most brilliant and shameless...this pitch perfect record deserves to be on the stereo all summer... ***** Album Of The Week, Metro April 2007 ...The Great Unwanted is an immediate classic...melancholia, heartache and existential angst. Marvellous... ***** Independent on Sunday April 2007 ...Crucially well crafted and fabulously danceable, with epic flourishes and rousing handclaps...This isn't a modish crush, but a full-blown pop affair... The Word April 2007 ...Understatement isn't in their remit, but what a glorious, over-romanticised racket they make... **** The Guardian April 2007 ...Ice cream sweet, but, like Saint Etienne or The Concretes, they lace it with ground shards of bleak heartbreak and sharp lyrics that'll have your heart bleeding... NME April 2007 ...Prepare to delight in this bubblegum world...with their infectious songs Lucky Soul are impossible to dislike... The Observer April 2007 ...Lucky Soul purvey purist pop not dissimilar to Belle and Sebastian. Their debut album [is] something of a 'best of'... **** The Times April 2007 ...Glorious confections of classic Spector-esque pop. Almost indecently fabulous... Guardian Guide Single of the Week March 2006 Record Label: our very own... 'Ruffa Lane' Type of Label: Indie |
