"This is another record that has taken up my time over the past decade or so and I think this is her best album. I can't wait for the next one. She's been brilliant in forging her own path and it's really exciting. She played with us on the Neon Neon stuff but she was releasing records, mostly in the Welsh language, for a few years before then. I think she's on a really interesting musical journey. She is an amazing songwriter, a very natural songwriter who could write anything. She was in LA but she's been in the Lake District for a couple of years now. With this record in particular, there are some incredibly profound songs and she makes experimentation and improvisation extremely palatable to the ears which is very hard to do. Just to be able to make really unique pop music is also incredibly hard to do!"

The Man in the Hammock by Alec Todd

7.0 (1 Ratings)
Album Rating
Alec Todd is a young songwriter from Utrecht in the Netherlands. I like him because he takes risks; the Dutch call it G-Funk.

“Utrecht songwriter releases his 2nd single ‘We’ll Never Forget’. With Helena van der Veen in the lead, the single-inspired G-funk is presented in an emotional lyrical video clip. In the video you can see how Helena gets emotional. The role of Helena tells the real emotion behind the cheerful single.
At the beginning of 2017, Alec Todd decided to join up with Roy van Rosendaal to record his concept EP ‘The Man in the Hammock’;
’We’ll Never Forget’ is the second single from this EP.”

This song of his is a favorite right now. I keep wanting to hear it again. Seems like no one has really discovered it yet because it has almost no plays. Enjoy!

"First song is a John Hiatt song. I love this guy. I get in many arguments with my wife who loves Bruce Springsteen about how much better John Hiatt is as a songwriter. But this song is called “Dust Down A Country Road” and it’s actually in the beginning of the movie, Road Hard, and it just captures the flavor and the feel of a lonely guy on the road."
