‘If you adore the ‘Harvest’ mode Neil Young or favor the ‘Pale Blue Eyes’ side of the Velvet Underground, this album should warm your soul for many Sunday mornings to come.’- Allmusic
The House of Love frontman Guy Chadwick’s debut is a gorgeous and seemingly effortless collection of breezy love songs. Robin Guthrie’s warm production serves these gentle songs wonderfully, and Guy’s backing musicians complement him masterfully (Guthrie also played bass on eight songs).
Lazy, Soft & Slow should warm your soul for many Sunday mornings to come. This album is magic, and the title says everything about the music.The critics at the time said this:
MOJO – ‘Velvet Underground inspired elegance – enchanting - unfathomable grace’
NME – ‘Its rich melodic luxury is enough to swim in - dark but elegant allure - unorthodox deep pile tunes’
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH – ‘Delectable devotional love tunes - a deliciously warm web of sound - A serene and dreamy album’
THE TIMES – ‘ Gorgeous pop songs - A polished gem ‘
THE GUARDIAN - ‘A Little Beauty’
