Kyle Falconer – Poor Me
Kyle Falconer - Poor Me
Release Date: Out Now
I have to admit that when I saw the frontman of the View was
releasing a solo single I expected more of the same style but it turns out Kyle
Falconer is much more than a one trick pony. ‘Poor Me’ opens with a luscious orchestral
melody followed by rolling drums and those unmistakable vocals. This ambitious
stuff with the kind of chorus that burrows in to your head with the lyric of “Poor
me, poor me and pour me another drink” so easy to pick up and sing back.
Somewhere, in a lab, Falconer has blended the outlandishness of My Life Story
with the bombast of the Killers, aged it in whisky casks and then fed it all back
through a stack of amps to create the kind of urgent indie-pop with added
glamour that you just don’t expect to come out in these times of austerity. Bravo
sir, genuinely impressive stuff.
