Uncle Luc – Forever a Fan/Bones of the Days
Uncle Luc - Forever A Fan/Bones of the Days
(Super Fan 99
Records)
Release Date: Out Now
Sometimes, just sometimes, the PR
gets it right in terms of hooking you in. “Casios and Banjos – Gorillaz and Wilco”
goes the strapline and, yeah, I’m hooked in. The release that sits behind this
release is from Uncle Luc and is a delirious double header. First up, we have ‘Forever
a Fan’ which ambles in unassumingly before taking off its woolly hat and scarf
to tell you a story about how things are. Gentle acoustic notes, honest vocals
and a sense of nostalgia that will be instantly recognisable to everyone over
the age of 30 who still gets excited by new music and hasn’t migrated to Heart
FM. This song is as smart as it is funny which it makes it just like the kind
of friend we all want in our lives.
The second half of this game is ‘Bones
of the Days’ which is a sunshine and slide guitar drenched slice of lo-fi
Americana with hints of I Am Kloot and Badly Drawn Boy if they’d gone on a
Winnebago road trip together with nothing but their childhood memories and the
instruments they stole from a Junior School skip. Uncle Luc is unlikely to
start packing out stadia any time soon but if you’re looking for English indie nostalgia
with an American tinge and a sense of unaffected cool then you’ve found your
niche. You weirdo.
