Badly Drawn Boy: "Is There Nothing We Could Do?"

(Originally written for and posted to Thunder on 01/05/10)

Well, this came as a bit of a surprise for me. I had all but forgotten about Badly Drawn Boy until I saw that he just released a record meant to be the soundtrack for a new British movie, "The Fattest Man in Britain" (indeed the film is about a rather large British bloke). I can't vouch for the movie, but the record is very pleasant. Rare for a soundtrack, the individual songs on this release form a work best listened to as a complete album- a few melodies and sections are repeated in different songs later into the record.

Check out the album here.
