This may only be a demo but it a very promising introduction to the world of Goatboy (unless of course you were familiar Mark O’Sullivan’s previous work with Screaming Skies?). ‘Winter Tears’ has a restrained epic feel about it and could really blossom with the addition of some brass parts. The production is a little grey but that is to be expected for a bedroom recording. In some ways that matt finish actually heightens the retro feel as Goatboy’s vocals do have a tinge of Peter Cetera about them. Goatboy’s has expressed that he is aiming for a sound that approximates ‘Lost Souls’ Doves and in lots of ways he succeeds with ‘Winter Tears’. Really looking forward to the permanent migration from the bedroom to the cedar one. KD
