Synopsis

Album Description

2007 debut album by the singer/songwriter who gives back the edge that made the likes of Bob Dylan and Paul Simon more than just bardy entertainers. His ambitious music may be intimate, bare, and...ahem...sensitive. But vitally it?s also courageous, triumphant, challenging and otherworldly. Emotionally-driven, psychedelic, spiked with wit, blessed with a cidery traditionalism and foiled with subtle, yet noticeably modern, production from Simian?s Simon Lord, Findlay?s work is truly ?Alternative Folk?. 11 tracks featuring the singles 'Losing The Will To Survive', 'Come Home', 'Don't You Know I Love You' and 'Down Among The Dead Men'. Peace Frog.

CD Reviews

Not bad

A. Butterfield | UK | 03/27/2007

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Findlay Brown seem to be jumping on the bandwagon of young acoustic-guitar toting British singer songwriters - that all sound a bit the same. While there's no doubt he's produced an album that on the face of it sounds attractive and has some catchy songs, it unfortunately lacks that certain something that takes it to another level.

He's said that he was aiming for a 1960s sound, and I can't help but compare him to Ben Taylor, who, whether by design or accident, also reminds me of a sixties vibe.

Ben Taylor has a knack for making his songs distinctive and interesting that Findlay Brown gets close to but doesn't quite manage. Ben Taylor has a voice you never forget, but Findlay Brown isn't blessed that way; he sings sweetly and in tune, but you never fall in love with his voice. You don't wish you were his friend, you know? He doesn't grab you.

And his guitar playing is a bit mundane.

But there are a few catchy tunes on the CD and it's not awful by any means. It's just kind of forgettable."
