Les is passionate, a multi-instrumentalist. But he’s not a wimpy singer/songwriter you want to kick the shit out of, for fear he’d write a song about it.
The Format specialize in ’80s acoustic-y light pop-rock, and songs often include sleigh bells, a banjo, a mellotron, and a wurly (what the hell is a wurly?).
The production is smooth, the rough-fuzzed guitars are sexy. The lyrics are a work in progress. Perhaps tweaking the prescription could set things right.
