Little Name
Carrying on the Liverpudlian tradition of great pop music is Little Name, whose first album, “How to Swim and Live” is out now on Sleepy Records.
Bringing the lush sounds of Camera Obscura and Belle and Sebastian, the northern sensibilities of The Smiths and the pop of Bacharach, you would
think that this already internationally recognized artist was a no-so-littleband, with multiple members and a full orchestra section. However, the
brilliant sounds on this CD are the work of just one man, Lee Barker.
Underneath the bright Indie-pop are lyrics which explore ideas of openness and vulnerability, isolation and joy with a wit and humour belying their meaning. After 8 years of isolation through panic attacks Lee was searching for greater themes,
songs that said something and said something about his life. ”How to Swim and Live” was the answer.
Themes of unrequited love, lost lives, anxiety and finding inclusion in life.
These are songs to cherish, songs that let you know that someone out there is feeling and struggling with the same things you are. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
