DUNCAN LLOYD is best known as the lead guitarist from MAXIMO PARK. Blending sublime melodies with Americana-tinged songwriting and featuring the single 'Suzee'. Lloyd recorded most of the instruments himself, although the music contained herein - the explosive dynamics and nagging guitar interplay of 'Misfit', the chiming, cerebral power-pop of '7 Letters' - sounds like the work of a living, breathing, sweating rock band. Maximo Park drummer TOM ENGLISH adds live drums to eight of the ten tracks. Reference points are cast all about, nods to WIRE, to GUIDED BY VOICES, to the wiry BEATLES of Revolver-era and the pop of DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE. But most of all, the album sounds the work of Duncan Lloyd, every homely track bearing his instinctive thumbprint.
