Bristol indie music legend
Davey Woodward
has announced his new album
Love & Optimism
, together with his congenial band
The Winter Orphans
. Best known for his bands
The Brilliant Corners
,
The Experimental Pop Band
, and
Karen
, this output was recorded "live" in the studio. This album is very personal and perhaps Woodward's most emotional performance, putting Davey solidly amongst the best songwriters of his generation.
Love & Optimism
is the band's second following their self-titled debut released in 2018 on Tapete Records (TR 412CD/LP). "I grew up and have lived in Bristol for most of my life. I use the city as a backdrop to many of my songs. Often, I go into some detail about places. Roads and the people of the city. It has always inhabited my songs.
Love & Optimism
continues my fascination with the city." Davey Woodward first came to prominence with his 1980s band The Brilliant Corners, part of the jangly indie
C86
scene, but with a diverse palette of indie pop, country, rock n' roll, post-punk and humor. The mini albums
Growing Up Absurd, Fruit Machine and What's In A Word
was followed by their best known album
Somebody Up There Likes Me
(1987), several
John Peel
sessions, indie chart success and regular tours. In 2013 Cherry Red Records released a retrospective of the band's work
Heart On Your Sleeve (A Decade In Pop 1983-1993)
. Woddward's next band The Experimental Pop Band (1996-2012) was also championed by Peel and signed to City Slang Records. In the last decade, Davey has released a handful of solo LPs, including the lo-fi folk pop album
6 Miles East Of Here 5 Miles North Of Nowhere
(2011) and also recorded with alt guitar band Karen releasing several EPs on The Environmental Sounds label. "
This music is honest and revealing with depth and a feeling of mysterious purposes -- the hair on your arms may stand up as you absorb this goodness
." --Big Takeover Magazine
