  • Description

    I've found that the best songs are the ones written in ten minutes or less" So says Dalton, aka one Nate Harar, a scuffed-up American dreamer who is poised on the very cusp of releasing his first record. Starting as it means to go on, ''Bedford & Grand'' opens the album with a melancholic piano refrain which captures the essence of Flaming Lips re-writing Badfinger classic ''Without You''. Ending much like it started ''So Long So Well'' polishes things off with a broken guitar and a bruised microphone. In between Dalton pays his own subtle tribute to the history of alternative North American rock with a sound which nods at the maverick ghosts of Talking Heads, Neil Young, Afghan Whigs, Guided By Voices and beyond, at one particularly surreal point actually rekindling the sunshine-shuffling flame of Blightys very own Mungo Jerry. So it's sad rock, but hard-edged, forever accompanied by Nates terrifically lived-in vocals. It nods at the super cool collegiate rockings of the early 90s, but also acknowledges a roving range of ragged stadium rock glories - even first single ''Only Names'' nods coyly at the restrained hysteria of ''Joshua Tree''-era U2 - but suggest this is blue collar rock in full effect and Dalton will frown.
