The first Badly Drawn Boy article review I read was the first time I had ever heard the word troubadour, and in relation to BDB it wasn't the last.
BDB is a multi-faceted craftsman whose inspirations are broad and uncompromised, variety is the spice of his life.
Named after a seventies cartoon character and a drawing by his nephew the BDB moniker is a statement of intent, his honest approach to live music is no different to his approach to recording his 300,000 selling award winning debut LP "Hour of Bewilderbeast".

Badly Drawn Boy, aka Damon Gough, has a pretty likable voice that suits the music very well, and although he's not perfect he does a fine job.
With Badly Drawn Boy shunning LA in favor of a Manchester studio and with Andy Votel back at the production helm One Plus One is a wry, self-mocking, and exquisitely personal album that finds Gough re-evaluating the sudden fame that found him working with Joan Collins, recording soundtracks, and residing in California.
Badly Drawn Boy (aka Damon Gough) can be as serious as a heart attack, but he always sounds relaxed with himself, regardless of the topic.

Badly Drawn Boy took a slight departure by penning and performing the soundtrack for Nick Hornby's (High Fidelity) latest book to be adapted to film.
The album's finest moment, however, is the closing Christmas-nouveau of "Donna and Blitzen." It's a spectacular triumph of songwriting and composition with soaring strings, jangling bells, and superbly belted vocals.

Once Around The Block was released to a pleased assemblage of critics last year and is merely the icing on the cake of a quite delicious album which also includes the single Another Pearl.
There's something for those jaded Belle and Sebastian fans out there with BDB's lovely acoustic guitar, sampled bird song, trumpet, cello and myriad other instruments, while jazz fans will be enticed by Disillusion and Bewilder in particular.

 All-Reviews.com Music Review: The Hour of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Badly Drawn Boy's The Hour Of Bewilderbeast was one of the best releases of 2000.
Badly Drawn Boy is often categorized with Travis and Coldplay, bands who have replaced Oasis and Blur at the top of British charts, showing a familiarity with edgier new wave but making tasteful, almost easy listening music.
Damon Gough, the man behing Badly Drawn Boy, shares a polite facade and unassuming, self doubting persona with the post-Britpop stars but he makes far more challenging music than his smoother, more popular contemporaries.

 Badly Drawn Boy - The Hour Of Bewilderbeast
Badly Drawn Boy (Damon Gough to his Mum) is one such gentleman and this debut album certainly proves that all the hype surrounding his earlier EPs were merited.
Gough is not afraid to rely on ghosts from the past as influences, however, and there is a Beck-like quality to his musical approach which lends the project a certain freshness as the more rock-orientated tracks such as 'Everybody's Stalking', 'Once Around The Block' and 'Another Pearl' testify.

Badly Drawn Boy mastermind Damon Gough offers up further proof that it is possible to write instantly accessible pop songs that are quirky, innovative, and smart.
And while I’d love to hear the likes of this on the radio, those who’ve suggested that Badly Drawn Boy has gone (gasp!) mainstream enough to be included in the rotation of your local Top 40 station are clearly not in touch with just how much of a creative wasteland pop radio has really become.
The truth is that this album will end up in the collections of music fans that look for smartly written, well-crafted songs, aren’t put off by instrumentation that shuns the typical guitar-bass-drums setup, and appreciate understated, bittersweet melodies.

The artist exclusively known as Badly Drawn Boy might as well have stitched "E-N-I-G-M-A" onto that ethnic knitcap he wears around all security blanket-like.
And then we're hit with the ridiculous title track, which walks what is fastly becoming Badly Drawn Boy's very own fenceline between execrable REO Speedwagon pomp-pop and touching, emotive songwriting.
And that's just the thing with Badly Drawn Boy-- he doesn't care about momentum, or continuity, or a lot of other things that you might quite reasonably care about when you sit down to listen to his records.

If Beck is the new century's Dylan, then Badly Drawn Boy is its Donovan -- and I'm not just saying that 'cause one's American and British (though obviously that's part of it).
It also has to do with the contrast between BDB's slightly more effete, baroque folk-pop sensibilities and Beck's lo-fi American blues- (and hip hop-) inflected street smarts.
So, as the above comparison should indicate, this Badly Drawn Boy is an astoundingly talented, intelligent, interesting artist -- but let's get over the ridiculousness of having to refer to him as Badly Drawn Boy.

 Badly Drawn Boy - About A Boy : album review
You'd be forgiven therefore for thinking the worst of the soundtrack to About A Boy, the forthcoming romantic comedy starring Mr Grant.
However, Nick Hornby, who wrote the book upon which the film is based, is no slouch when it comes to musical taste, and he had the inspired idea of asking Badly Drawn Boy to score the film.
Afficionados of Damon Gough, aka Badly Drawn Boy, have long known just how talented the man is. From the limited edition seven inch singles he made his name with, to the Mercury Music Prize winning The Hour Of Bewilderbeast, each release demonstrated the vitality and originality that is sadly lacking in much pop music today.
