Alison Statton CD

Soft Abuse
The title pays homage to the lovely young Welsh girl who fronted Young Marble Giants & Weekend. The songs pay homage to failed relationships & the uncertainty of youth via a batch of intelligently informed compositions; one that should appease fans of Jens Lekman, Orange Juice & the early Belle & Sebastian records. Female vocals float through the back drops as trumpets & saxophones spurt lost Stax lines, a glockenspiel chimes, guitars feedback, drums flail & a young man sings sweetly about all the things young men should sing sweetly about. Alison Statton confirms Andrew Churchman's position as top-notch modern songwriter. His words & themes flirt as much with the films of Truffaut as they do with Jonathan Richman's earnestness & the Go-Betweens' golden days of mellifluous pop truisms.
