Felton, Simon
Surrender Dorothy!
LAST COPIES. Quintessentially English, this second solo outing from the Garfields Birthday frontman is sunshine in a CD. It's all the fun of the fair with a carnival atmosphere. Close your eyes and you are basking in the summery sun, dipping toes in the sea. You can feel the water lapping around your ankles as each jaunty ditty melds with your consciousness. The multi-talented Alan Schnauser Strawbridge, ably assisted by Californian cult-superstar Anton Barbeau, have hand crafted a gem of a vehicle for Simons songs and pure vocal style. This successful team had masterminded his maiden solo release, Failing in Biology, in 2009 and their masterful touch two years on makes Surrender, Dorothy! an absolute joy to behold.
