Norman Lamont Music & The Heaven Sent Description
Norman Lamont is a timeless, classic singer-songwriter, as much at home in echoey electronics as in intimate acoustic settings. His songs are always melodic and memorable, but his subject matter ranges from the surreal and spiritual to quirky humour.
In the words of Edinburgh musician Hannah O'Reilly, "Norman is one of these performers that offers up something a little quirkier than the normal singer /songwriter stuff… a few yarns about things you’d never think to write about, a few animal puns, and a healthy dose of not taking yourself too seriously, mixed with a deep Cohen-esque vocal and some super catchy hooks. "
Reviews
From #JacquesBrel through #Momus to me - Jackie to Nicky to Ricky
It's been a while since I put out anything new, but the Heaven Sent have been playing new songs over the last six months. There's Turn, She Wants Out and this one, The Right Thing. Musically this goes back a fair way. The arrangement idea - one repeated note on the guitar plus a bassline - goes back to the final days of Hungry Ghosts in the 1990s when we used it for a cover version.
