Kyle Falconer – Family Tree
Kyle Falconer - Family Tree
Release Date: Out Now
According to the press
accompanying this track, this was released to coincide with Father’s Day in the
UK which seems unlikely given that Kyle Falconer doesn’t seem particularly
commercially cynical and I’m not sure his target market is a bunch of kids
buying presents for their ever-suffering fathers. Nevertheless, ‘Family Tree’
is another belter of a track from the former the View frontman and it is, at
least, about being a dad. The Belle & Sebastian melodies blend with a more
direct indie-rock delivery and Falconer’s distinctively delicious vocal that
drips with pathos and a life fully lived. “I’m working on me and the family, I’m
growing up you see, I’m putting bottles of Whiskey and Vodka behind me. I’m working
on the family tree” goes the chorus and you can feel the joy in Falconer’s voice
as he faces the prospect of this new chapter. I don’t think he’s ready to take
up cycling and green tea yet but Falconer is growing up personally and
musically and it’s a great journey to go along with him on.
