Tiago LA 'Tiago LA is losing the plot'

A quick word about this EP on Lex Records...

Tiago LA is singer songwriter Drew Brown and this, his debut release, is a nice mix of folk and electronic sounds. 'Tiago LA' seems to be a persona Brown has created and many of the lyrics are self-referential. The predominant sound is acoustic guitar and piano with electronic flourishes and samples in the background. Brown's hushed vocal is remiscent of Elliot Smith or a young Grant Lee Phillips. There's no real stand-out songs here but the six songs fit together nicely and its an enjoyable listen. If you're a fan of Beck's 'The Information' LP, you'll probably like this. One to keep an eye out for.

(M Ward and Morrissey reviews coming really soon.....)
