Until Tomorrow Then: The Best Of Ed Harcourt - Ed Harcourt

From Every Sphere - Ed Harcourt

Ed released Here Be Monsters, and this Album was very different and did tread where other artists would not have the minerals. Its as if he stuck his fingers up at the pop industry and told them he was doing it his way. Ed then proceeded to release his second album From Every Sphere.

I was instantly, in my crude cross-referencing, musical-minded, 'do you like my signed Van Halen t-shirt' sort of, who does this sound like way, making comparisons across the board. We have, here, Jeff Buckley shaking hands with Ben Folds, who is doing a leap-frog over each member of the Divine Comedy, whilst listening to a Nick Drake cassette with Miles Davis' 'Kind of Blue' taped on the reverse side. There's the obvious knock ...

Here Be Monsters - Ed Harcourt

hang on the likes of Radiohead, for example. Which is a shame, because anyone willing to give 'Here Be Monsters' will be rewarded with a chilling yet magical experience. Ed Harcourt is a part of a rare breed these days - a genuinely exciting singer/songwriter with only his best years to come. A recent Mercury Music Prize nomination has confirmed what many already understand full well - Harcourt's heartfelt tales of woe are making people sit up and listen. I suggest you do the same. ...
