What we say

Rating: happy This record left our BRIAN D feeling happy.

Mr. David Viner brings us a melodic reprieve with his new 7" on Ambiguous. If Lee Hazlewood was ill for a day during his sessions with Nancy Sinatra & was replaced by Leonard Cohen then 'Go Home' could possibly be the result. Lovingly melancholic, lilting & timeless folk, i'd say fans of Isobel Cambell/Mark Lanegan & Lucky Luke may like this. The flip 'Welcome Change' sounds a tiny bit less Cohen-esque but could well appeal to Tindersticks/Bad seeds devotees with it's graceful, tragic strings, beautifully strummed guitars and charming foot tapping drama. i'd love to see this man & his leading ladies live. I reckon he sounds damn authentic & proud for someone who apes the classics!

What the label says:

After a 2007 spent touring with the White Stripes and recording with Ed Harcourt, folk anti-hero Mr. David Viner returns this month with the release of his new single ‘Go Home’.

The Harcourt-produced track is a bittersweet duet with New York singer/songwriter and new Heavenly signing Jaymay, featuring Viner’s finger-picked guitar backed by a stripped-down band of cello, double bass and drums.

‘The most pleasingly woebegone song you’ve heard in ages,’ said The Guardian’s Laura Barton, who picked the track for her Friday Review Playlist.

‘A musical suicide note’ is how Viner describes it.

Viner, 26, first emerged from a cloud of roll-up smoke in 2003, with the release of his eponymous debut album on the Hollywood Dim Mak label. His second album, This Boy Don’t Care followed a year later on Loog. Tours have included support slots with Spiritualized, blues legend Dr. John and, most recently, the White Stripes on their 2007 European tour.

The Band are: Mr. David Viner (vocals/guitar), Alice Gunn (backing vocals/cello), Ben Swank (drums) and John Cheeseman (double bass).
