Bio
.. About Homeless House.... "Fourth album from neglected Brighton singer-songwriter… Luminous voice, effortless band, and a short but sweetly melancholy collection of understated pop pitched somewhere between Robert Wyatt at his most accessibly fragile and The Beatles at their most quietly winsome." Sylvie Simmons for MOJO Magazine. ................................................................................................................. "A couple of years back, Joe Pernice bent my ear about Cunningham being the freshest blast of pop air he'd heard in aeons. On his fifth album it's easy to see why. Though his early-90s career was kickstarted by ex-Housemartin Stan Cullimore, 1998's beautiful Homeless House was the first inkling of star-on-the-up. Happy-Go-Unlucky come similarly draped in velvety pop smarts, those this time fuller and tonally richer. Set atop woodwinds, gently dipping strings, stabbing pianos and reedy guitars, JC's voice owes as much to McCartney as contemporaries Kevin Tihista and Richard Davies, with arrangements worthy of Curt Boettcher. A latterday chaser to Emitt Rhodes' eponymous 1970 debut."-UNCUT ................................................................................................................. About Happy-go-unlucky.... "Cunningham specialises in the sort of tiny,aching wonderful moments..that will have you returning repeatedly to each song." NME 8/10........... "Could really have been recorded any time since the mid 60's..lovelorn, organic and rather reminiscent of The Beatles in fact." LOGO........"With his...baroque production touches, Cunningham hews closely and superbly to the balladic side of Revolver-era Fabs."-UNCUT, Jim Allen................. "One of the best pure pop records of 2002."-MAGNET, Patrick Berkerey.................. "Happy Go-Unlucky is a rainy-day album for pop dreamers who are chasing that elusive smile through strawberry fields (forever)."-SOUND & VISION, Parke Puterbaugh -
