Sounds Like
Bjork, Nick Cave, Morcheeba ... a strange hybrid of these, sometimes with more than a fair share of pop thrown in.
Recently i've been stuck in a Goldfrapp/Sweet/T-Rex/Hookah/Postal Service bubble and so newer material is bound to have been influenced by this.
Andrew's new single IRRESISTIBLE is released on 29th June 2009! The track is a mix of catchy pop friendly lyrics and a scoop of 80s synths. Included on the single are two remixes: Sven Erler Remix and the Sean Goes Pop! Mix - the two winning entries from his recent Irresistible remix competition.
He is currently busy finishing off his forthcoming album, "The Vorticist".
2008 saw Andrew's long-awaited return to music with the single A Moment With You (steeped in rich 80's styled synths, catchy robotic hooks and pop friendly vocals) he is currently working hard on his new album, The Vorticist, co-produced with long-term collaborator Matthew Youens.
