Hand Built By Robots | Newton Faulkner

2007 release of the debut album by a young man who is one of the most highly touted DIY-type major artist talents in 2006-7. His debut single, 'Full Fat EP', hit the top of Amazon's singles charts with virtually no promotion at all! Faulkner's laidback scat singing and gutsy holler, shuffling beats, blues riffs, intelligent/tongue-in-cheek lyrics and string tapping are just some of reasons why audiences seem to light to him so quickly. His live performance style is well honed and instantly endears him to his ever-expanding audience. Among the 17 songs here are 'I Need Something' and 'Dream Catch Me' as well as his daring cover of Massive Attack's 'Teardrop', presenting the song that featured Cocteau Twins Liz Fraser singing lead in a whole new light.
