Badly Drawn Boy - Have You Fed the Fish?

Don’t let Badly Drawn Boy’s slacker image fool you: the Boy (born Damon Gough) is actually a hard-working, toque-wearing tunesmith, crafting enough lo-fi pop classics to fill a modest-size Brill Building. His 18-track debut album, The Hour of Bewilderbeast, was declared a “shambling masterpiece” by one critic. Since then, Gough has recorded the soundtrack to About a Boy. His latest, featuring eclectic gems like “40 Days 40 Fights” and “You Were Right,” is full of intelligence and delightfully twisted humor.
