Glyn Bailey TOYS FROM BALSA
Breezy pop rock with grinning keyboard squirts lifting the left of centre (in every respect) lyricism. Somewhere between the Divine Comedy and a ‘Dave: performing every Friday’ pub legend, Glyn Bailey IS Serge Gainsbourg; IS George Formby; IS Robyn Hitchcock and IS the missing link between prog concept and bitesize twee, while the vocal is very much pitched between Springsteen and Bowie. A little cheeky, this be, but professional at all times, the dramatic ‘Last Day Of Summer’ being the biggest pulse racer.
