Details: Amazon.ca The debut album from these British acoustic troubadours comprises 10 snug, cozy tracks of fluffy folksy ramble that wouldn't say boo to the proverbial goose, but somehow manages to blow all your preconceptions about winsome indie-pop out of the window. Ambling in on the heels of 2001's fine EP If You Happy with, You Need Do Nothing, A Word in Your Ear is certainly no radical update of the Alfie agenda. Let your ears relax around the florid "Cloudy Lemonade" and the gently rapped "The Reverse Midas Touch," which blend sleepy hip-hop shuffle into bluesy campfire strum, and you'll hear everything from the rural poetry of Nick Drake to the gutsy swagger of the Stone Roses standing proud at the heart of Alfie's design. Meanwhile, singer Lee Gordon's laconic drawl still sounds uncannily like Tim Burgess at three-quarters speed. For anyone awaiting the continuing adventures of Badly Drawn Boy with bated breath, A Word in Your Ear--with its beautiful subtlety, lack of bombast, and knowledge that sometimes less is more--is a must-have. --Louis Pattison Product description Alfie ~ Word In Your Ear
