| Alex Hedley - This Life |
Release Date: 20th October 2017
It always intrigues me when you
come across musicians who have ‘gone solo’ but you’ve never heard of the band
in question. It’s like introducing yourself to women as divorced. Nevertheless,
Alex Hedley was once in a band called Saturday Sun and that might be helpful
context for some but for me, ‘This Life’, stands up on its own merits and
should probably just get itself on Tinder. Opening with a lazily strummed
acoustic riff that speaks of end of film credits and deep, satisfied sighs as
you turn out the lights. There’s an interesting blend of thoroughly English
sounding vocals with melodies that come from a place that the Lemonheads
usually occupy. Stir in a building intensity and rawness of instrumentation and
you’re on to a heady brew that will surely help you sleep tonight. Hedley has
more than a touch of class about him and certainly a hint of the cinematic
about the way his arrangements build. In short, he’s an excellent song-writer
and doesn’t need anyone else’s help to make good music.
