Featuring joyful, funny and heartfelt songs about everything from cosmologist Carl Sagan to soap superstar Adam Woodyatt, the fourth album by indie-folk legend Gavin Osborn is an eclectic masterpiece.
Mixing the personal with the political, expect a glorious set of lyrical loveliness from one of the best songwriters in the country. Familiar to BBC Radio 4 listeners, Gavin has also co-written heart-warming story-shows with comedian Daniel Kitson for Regents Park Open Air Theatre, toured the UK supporting Belle & Sebastian, played sold-out shows at Hammersmith Apollo as part of Robin Ince’s Book Club, as well as every single Latitude Festival.
“Simultaneously hilarious and heart-rending songs about the difficulties of love in a modern world” - The Independent
“Gavin Osborn showed exactly how to meld erudition, wit and acoustic guitar... a brilliantly accomplished singer-songwriter with touchingly quirky lyrics” – Chortle
“Funny and touching. Osborn walks a similar tightrope [to Loudon Wainwright III] but remains perfectly balanced” - Stewart Lee, Sunday Times
