Masterful sounds from Damon Gough. Eminently listenable, deceptively gentle

There's Badly Drawn Boy (aka Damon Gough) going to work with Beck's producer Tom Rothrock, when he is so often said to be quintessentially English; winning the prestigious Mercury Music Prize then throwing the cheque away; having the voice of an angel and the wardrobe of a bin man and now making a major movie soundtrack in LA.

Who better to soundtrack 'About A Boy', the film adapted from the novel by Nick Hornby, author of Hi Fidelity and Fever Pitch than Badly Drawn Boy? The film 'About A Boy' stars Hugh Grant, Toni Collette and Rachel Weisz and is due for a cinematic release in NZ in July 2002.

Badly Drawn Boy provides a masterful soundtrack to the film adaptation of the Nick Hornby novel. Eminently listenable, deceptively gentle, well-crafted, fabulous tunes.
