Synopsis

Album Description

Produced by Ben Hillier who has worked with Blur & Elbow. Tom's self-titled debut album, released in 2000, announced the arrival of a rare & singular new talent. It's subsequent Q Magazine, Mercury Prize & Brit nominations merely confirmed a major talent had arrived. The album, of course, went on to figure in the end-of-year Top 10 lists of Q, The Observer, Sunday Telegraph, Sunday Times, Independent & Time Out, 'Just Like Blood' marks a huge step forward. In terms of sound, scope & style, it is a bigger, braver & possibly even darker work than its acclaimed predecessor. It feels contemporary, yet stands alone. The themes of the album are again dislocation & dissatisfaction & desire for escape.

CD Reviews

Beautiful music by a relatively unknown artist

Majestic62 | Deepest darkest Africa | 07/24/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is my first review but i felt i really had to write a review. Tom Mcrae is not very well known but that doesnt mean that his music isnt worth listening to - quite the contrary. Once you get into this album you notice how unique the music is. He is really talented and the music is really beautiful. Although 1 or 2 of the songs are maybe just mediocre, there are one or two songs on here such as "You only disappear" which are one of the best songs ive heard. So i beg you - give this one a try!!"

Why isn't this guy selling in America?

"These songs are mesmerizing, haunting, & melodic. Buy this and his debut and you've got the perfect soundtrack to your sad/beautiful life. Tom McRae would sell millions of cds in my ideal universe."

"...commercials are good for something. Thank you Pontiac... I had been searching for days to find out the artist for the new Pontiac commercial's music... and I finally found out it was Tom McRae... the second I first heard this commercial I said to my girlfriend that I have to get that song... now I'm buying the album and can't wait to hear more...

I am a big fan of Peter Gabriel and another unknown British artist Kingbathmat... and Tom McRae seems to fit into their realm of wonderfully expressed music... if you like this you'll also love David Gray, Nick Drake and Damien Rice.
