Releases
New Badly Drawn Boy
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 10 January 2011
Badly Drawn Boy, or Damon Gough if you prefer, will release a brand new single next week, but it’s not for any of you LA twats OK, you can just fuck off.
The new single, ‘I Saw You Walk Away’, comes from the album ‘It’s What I’m Thinking Part 1 – Photographing Snowflakes’, which was released last October. The download-only single release, like the album, comes via Gough’s own label One Last Fruit, with a Denis Jones remix available in one bundle, and a bunch of live tracks in another recorded in Manchester and Glasgow, including one – ‘Time Of Times’ – that is a duet with his nine year old daughter Edi.
No tracks will be included from that previously reported LA gig just before Christmas where, after his audience got a bit restless after sound problems, Gough lost his temper somewhat, ranting thus: “Fuck off if you don’t want to be here, fuck off you LA twats”.
We should add, Gough did subsequently apologise for his outburst, though not to the twats. He later told fans: “I don’t feel I owe an apology to those who heckled but I want to profusely apologise to those caught in the crossfire, especially a guy who had to leave with his young daughter and all of you who stuck by me to help turn things around”.
