If ever someone was to make a statement of intent while sticking two fingers up to conformity, then Lloyd personifies this with his astonishing debut EP, a truly outstanding breakthrough release for 2008 available on digital download and CD. A uniquely gifted singer/songwriter, guitarist and producer of breathtaking songs ranging from rock charged soul to aching folk remedies of loss and redemption. Think Jim Morrison, The Editors, The National, Jeff Buckley, Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen. From fan favourite ‘Pain of life’ with its deep lyrical confessions to the joyfully anthemic Not Now, with it’s jangle guitar and sweet organ chimes, these songs have a remarkable power to uplift and console. Speaking as a songwriter Lloyd states: “I don’t write to hide myself, I write to surprise myself and articulate the unspoken. For me each song is a journey beneath the surface of our everyday lives.” As a performer Lloyd is a profound experience. It’s not just his primal voice that makes the hairs stand on end or the blistering solo guitar, it’s his sheer presence and personality. Together with a formidable trio of Luke Roberts (drums), Matt Crawford (Keys) and Paul Hogg (Bass/Co-producer) he produces a sound of pure sonic voodoo!
