Loner : Western Sci-Fi - The new Album OUT NOW!

Apr 29th, 2009

The follow up to Loner?s eponymous debut in 2004, Western Sci-Fi is a heartfelt expression of desolate pop.

?Effortless vocals swirl around an ever serene piano... the touching courtship between piano and strings exemplifies Loner's songwriting skills perfectly?

Loner, AKA Geoff Smith, cites his earliest musical influences as Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen and Johnny Cash - solitary artists who reflect their own stories through lyrical story telling, artists that bring you into their own world ? and their reflective style is evident in Western Sci-Fi. For Loner, his songs are a way to ?bring other people into the places I see, the things I need to talk about?.

A classical pianist since the age of 8 and tutored in New Orleans piano techniques in his teens, piano understandably makes up the backbone of his work. Yet electronic interference, fuzzy glitches, Binatone samples and some sparkling production underpin the organic qualities of piano and acoustic guitar. This has earned Loner a sound of his own which gently glides beneath the rush of modern life.

TRACKLISTING:

1. Lights Which Pass
2. Show A Little Love
3. The Fire You Had
4. I?m Not Sorry
5. When The Party?s Over
6. Supernatural
7. Already Numb
8. Without You
9. Flowers From Karlie
10. Black Dog
11. Soho
12. Farewell My Friend

In his earlier days Loner would work only in solitude, earning him the hermitic title. He has, however, collaborated with a heap of respected musicians and producers. Notably Tim Simenon, the hip hop/dance pioneer behind Bomb The Bass, and acclaimed songstress Dot Allison. The cinematic sound of Loner?s songs has led to soundtrack placements for Sex In The City, One Tree Hill and many more.

?Western Sci-Fi beats with an unmistakably pure pop heart?
