True Love, the debut album from a one man DIY Lo-Fi outfit called The Soft Walls from Brighton. In the noble tradition of Baby Bird, East River Pipe, Badly Drawn Boy, Dark Tea and the like, it's a tribute to imagination and vision first and foremost.
I love these kind of personal projects. They're an indication that the spirit of Pop Music will never die, so long as there are dreamers writing songs in their bedrooms.
Dan Reeves, who is The Soft Walls, has listened to these I'd say. Also Elliott Smith I imagine as there's a slightly depressive edge to much of this stuff, and who would not listen to Elliott if they're involved in this kind of endeavor.
Anyhow, it's splendid stuff. Not averse to the occasional power chord either. I imagine Darren Jones, key contributor to this blog is already onto this. If not Darren, sounds right down your street.
Haha, yes! One of my Bandcamp Friday purchases and would have been recommending it to you soon. I've got the last album, too, which is also worth checking out, but more lo-fi garage psych
