Request fill.... I seem to remember there being a request for this... Fifth album from former
Longpigs and Pulp bloke Richard
Hawley... Featuring an abundance of retro crooning

Review / Notes (if any):

Hawley's fourth album, Cole's Corner, attracted a Mercury nomination, and established the former
Pulp/Longpigs sideman as
a late contender for Most Promising Newcomer of 1962. Happily, Lady's Bridge offers no great
departures from that record's
melancholy mood. It, too, sounds as if it has been decanted from a time when disc jockeys wore
dinner jackets, and a gentleman
in trouble might soothe his troubled heart with a stroll along the banks of the canal.

Not that Hawley needs to change. While he still sings like a kinder, sadder Jarvis Cocker would,
perhaps after an encounter with
his karaoke uncle, he does it with such sincerity that it seems churlish to resist. Actually, he
doesn't sing. He croons. The opening
"Valentine", with a guitar strummed in the manner of a tolling bell, and cataclysmic strings on
loan from The Walker Brothers, is a
delicate and devastating pop song, in which a man struggles through the night to the dawnin'
(rhymes with "warning in your eyes"),
whereupon the tune swells to the point where only Roy Orbison could bring it home alive.

As before, the album's title refers to a Sheffield landmark, but Hawley's concerns are universal.
Mostly, he maps the faultlines between
loneliness and love. Occasionally (the skiffly "Serious") he is upbeat. "The Streets Are Ours" is
almost paternal, with Hawley rejecting
the soulless people who "make our TVs blind us/from our vision and our goals." "Dark Road" is a
defiant cowboy song and - if this
really was 1962 - would benefit from being covered by Lee Marvin.

But fear not. Mostly, Hawley is woeful. There are songs of ships on troubled oceans, suns which
refuse to shine, and rivers (that
rhyme with "forgive her"). The loveliest of these is "Roll River"; a gentle melody floated over
honky-tonk piano and majestic strings.
It sounds so peaceful and untroubled that you almost don't notice that the singer is busy yearning
for death.
