Dads
Released May 2011? How did I so fundamentally drop the ball on this? We’re talking about Man Of Leisure by Dads, the debut solo release of Big Scary’s Tom Iansek. I’ll unashamedly say that I’m not a big fan of Big Scary but this suits me to a tee. There’re artists that have caught my attention with a pretty falsetto and one decently written song but Man of Leisure has won me over form track one to ten. I know you don’t care much for a full review of an album you may not yet have heard so here’s the record in layman’s terms: Gentle, acoustic and far from the balladeer cheese. There’s no overblown emotion (though there are a few moments of Corby-esque humming), just ten tracks of often introspective chill. I can’t recommend this more highly. I only searched this record out after hearing J Boulet’s most excellent remix of ‘Life, Oh Life’ which you’ll also be able to hear below.
Spend the ten dollars here and listen to this for months/years. If I could make retrospective additions to my lists of years past you’d soon see this included. Reading back over this I realise that this is a entirely useless synopsis of the record and really just 238 words of unresearched fanboyisms but look at the bigger picture – I’ve introduced you to an cracking record.
