Taking the best bits from Elliott Smith, Willy Mason and Nick Drake and adding in a touch of nu-folk flavour, Findlay Brown makes music that washes over you with a gentle melancholy - beautiful, a little bit damaged and hopelessly romantic all at the same time. A gorgeously fingerpicked acoustic guitar weaves a spectral magic while Findlay Brown sings with a fragile beauty, a voice that whispers from your speakers with a willowy grace.

Taken from his debut album SEPARATED BY THE SEA, latest single LOSING THE WILL TO SURVIVE finds Brown in full blown acousta folk mode; nifty fingerpicked chords underpinning his warm vocal delivery. A haunting take on the Jesus And Mary Chain's JUST LIKE HONEY is an added bonus here, FIndlay Brown crooning with sad eyed whimsy.

A sadly beautiful, tender single LOSING THE WILL TO SURVIVE is a slice of warm melancholy that finds Findlay Brown winning hearts with style.

A part-time bare-knuckle boxer in his Yorkshire youth, Findlay is no introspective wimp. Influenced by the likes of The Band, Love, Jackson C Frank and all things Krautrock, Findlay's music is emotionally-driven, psychedelic, spiked with wit, blessed with a cidery traditionalism and foiled with subtle, yet noticeably modern production from Simian's Simon Lord. Inspiration for the album came from a tempestuous relationship with his long-term Danish girlfriend Marie Nielsen. He started writing songs to finally win her back after becoming conscious of being "a total nob", and dispatched them to Denmark in CD cases packed with dried flowers.

In an age where vapid sentimental balladeers and robotic manufactured pop represent two overwhelmingly prevalent but distinctly unappealing extremes, Findlay Brown is a defiantly unorthodox presence. A part-time bare-knuckle boxer in his Yorkshire youth, Findlay is no introspective wimp; while his ambitious music can be intimate, bare, and sensitive, it's also courageous, triumphant, challenging and otherworldly. There has been a steadily building word of mouth buzz on Findlay this year. And that buzz looks likely to translate into commercial success in 2007. Findlay's forthcoming single COME HOME, is gracing a major new television advert for Mastercard on UK terrestrial TV. This will be followed in February by Findlay's debut album, SEPARATED BY THE SEA.
