Review - bendigo - Follow To The End

bendigo - Follow To The End

View The Review

8 out of 10

'bendigo' is the alias of Grimsby born David John Gimson. Recorded in Nottingham, where bendigo has created a good following, the album is drenched with beautiful soundscapes, courtesy of a great sounding guitar and a 365 year old cello. The lovely Lucinda Chua, who performs under the pseudonym 'Felix', plays the cello and provides a new level of beauty to the songs. Standout tracks include 'Run Aground', 'Cabron' and the more upbeat 'Rush In The Breeze'.

Follow To The End is a well-crafted collection of developed songs, which deserves some attention. Released on Gimson's label 'Vantage Room', the album will offer a new glimpse of an artist people won't believe they could have gone without for so long.
