   About The Gentleman Losers
Dustland Teaser






"The Gentleman Losers are nothing short of one of the best things I've heard all year." Jennifer Allan / Angry Ape

"This is a stunning release for City Centre Offices' new Büro imprint, and one that haunts and enchants with its timeless beauty." Ian Roullier / Clash

"Les cow-boys dans l'espace... Pour se figurer la musique de ces losers finlandais, il suffit d'imaginer le Ry Cooder de la BO de Paris, Texas, perdu dans les étoiles, ou encore le Neil Young du Dead Man de Jim Jarmusch reconverti en version post-rock... ...belles atmosphères qui évoquent des routes sans fin, des paysages en cinémascope et l'errance initiatique des perssonages de Kerouac" Jean-Yves Leloup / Trax

"..carefully constructed ambient soundscape that woozily makes its way through towering clouds of nebulous menace." Kansai Time Out, Japan

"Da wo Jazz, Blues und Country zu Anfang des letzten Jahrhunderts an den Crossroads standen, wollen The Gentleman Losers hin, nur tauschen sie alles Erdige gegen die Weite eines verlassenen Flugplatzes. *****" Debug

"This is music for seeing mirages to." Almost Cool music reviews

"The brothers weave lazy acoustic and electric guitar parts through hazy synthesized chords, adding dusty handclaps and hesitant percussion as the songs drift through imagined glimmering dusks and distant smoky dawns." The Wire

"Masterfully cinematic, wonderfully sublime, a genuine pleasure!"
Trevor Jackson

"I might as well get to the meat of what you, the reader, want to know. Screw objectivity, this is the best thing I’ve heard all 2006. ...Put bluntly, if this record asked me to jump off a cliff you would find me approaching the ground below seconds later weeping tears of joy that these musical poets had deigned fit to address me." Indiecult

"Album of the year." Boomkat

Intricate and atmospheric songsmith, Danny Saul (UK) performs with different combinations of musicians, making each gig a unique event. His forthcoming release is "Harsh, Final", and he also performs with Greg Haines as Liondialer.

Fieldhead (UK) music delights in tape hiss, bleak landscapes and decaying analogue loops. He is also a member of The Declining Winter and Glissando. His debut album, "They Shook Hands for Hours" is released soon on Home Assembly.
