Music I Recommend: Findlay Brown
Citizensound met up with Findlay Brown last week at his residency at the Gladstone pub in South London. It was brilliant evening, with lot's of new songs on show. I'm not sure if it's working with a band, but his music seems to have broadened out a lot. At times, Fin's vocals reminded me of the legendary Gene Clark, while some of the new tracks seemed to go even further back than the Byrd's for inspiration, with echoes of Roy Orbison in new song "Love Will Find Me". You can check out the demos of a couple of his new tracks on his myspace page.
