Badly Drawn Boy, won the U.K.-based Mercury Music Prize, Brit-pop's blue ribbon award. His first full-length, The Hour of Bewilderbeast, is a song cycle relaying the life span of a romantic relationship with dry lyrical humor, soft-touch acoustic strumming, mellow horns, and gossamer strings. Repeated listenings are required, but like a down pillow, as your head sinks into this album, its warm comforts and rewards reveal themselves deep within a melodic cushion. --Beth Massa\n\n\nAmazon.ca\n\n\nDerided as a joker, dismissed as an indie elitist--few believed the hype that frothed from critical mouths about Damon Gough, a bleary-eyed, bestubbled Mancunian with an acoustic guitar and a shambolic stage manner. But\nThe Hour Of The Bewilderbeast--the debut album by Gough's alter-ego, Badly Drawn Boy--is utterly superb, an 18-track collection of futurist folk as intimate and well crafted as Nick Drake's\nBryter Later. Gough leads a backing band comprising Mancunian post-folk chums Alfie, and together they unveil a breed of rock entirely without bombast--the intimate folds of \"Stone On The Water\" entrancing, rather than bludgeoning. And it's funny, too. \"I'm dying...\" Gough announces on \"Everyone's Stalking\". And then, bourne up on a swell of parping brass, he finishes the sentence with relish: \"To put a little sunshine in your life!\" Droll, yet touching, seldom immediate, but forever sublime.\nThe Hour Of The Bewilderbeast weaves quiet, but affecting, spells.\n-- Louis Pattison\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 634904013325\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0634904013325\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51460549738793,"sku":"7S-QH4B-YXBY","price":3.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6225\/6681\/files\/51K4FlYYjsL.jpg?v=1762032013","url":"https:\/\/konnichiwa.ca\/products\/badly-drawn-boy-hour-of-bewilderbeast-cd-used","provider":"こんにちはマート | KON NICHIWA MART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
