This is a band that have already had praise from on high, with the late great John Peel loving their sound, and support slots alongside Travis, Kings Of Leon and Ash, show that their music is popular with other musicians. Having heard this single it is easy to see why.
In our review of the album, by my colleague Christine Miller she said " Lottery Winners On Acid' sounds like it was written for a steel band, with a perfectly fitting, trippy rhythm and a warm hazy melody that will float around your head for an eternity,.."
Having heard the single for the first time she is not wrong. You wonder what you are listening too, but it is a catchy tune, the sort that stick in your head during long hot summers. The only difference is that this is being released during a cold dark January. 'Lottery Winners On Acid' is a song that should get a lot of air play, and will stick in your mind forever!
"I ran of to Australia to escape the hideousness of London," said Davey Macmanus about writing this song. "I used £1000 my granny gave mne when she died to buy the ticket. I'd never had £1000 before. I bought a massive bag of weed when I got there and ran off to an island where I had my own little cove. I lived on a fruit diet and sat under a huge rock writing every day, eventually this song came along and I went home."
Listening to 'Lottery Winners On Acid' Is like participating in the sharing of that weed, and all those feelings that follow - so I am told!
