我们或许都奇怪 这支号称是意大利独立唱片「Homesleep Records」旗下的乐队究竟是如何的。其实 那是支一人乐队 是本籍瑞典的英国唱作人Antony Harding的化名，自其成立至今都已经有不短的九年时间 发行专辑CURES FOR BROKEN HEARTS A LONG WAY TO BLOW A KISS FLOATING ON THE BREEZE SAD TO SEE IT'S MORNING Ant’s voice is sweet, the songs are coy and charming, full of plaintive violin, wheezing harmonium, twinkly keyboards and strummed guitar, but none of this threatens to set the world on fire. It’s good, of its kind - there’s a lot of wistful daydreaming, and nowhere does anyone repeatedly sing “You’re beautiful...” in a constipated yelp. By track 9, though, it begins to outstay its welcome. There’s no real change in pace or melody, and nothing much to make you sit and listen right the way through. Thirteen tracks of much of a muchness, as pleasant as that muchness is, is a little bit too much. There’s not much else to say, really, so here are some reference points: Magnet, Gravenhurst, Bright Eyes, Aberfeldy and The Magic Numbers. He’s Swedish, by the way, and he recorded this album in Italy. On track 8, he sings about London and the Isle of Wight.
