There is an extensive list of wonderful things that can be said about Beautiful Boy, above anything else they have shown a consistency in producing high quality music that you can't help but gravitate towards. Their layered cinematic pop-rock sound is complex incorporating many other genre influences where each track can be easily identified as Beautiful Boy when the vocals kick in because lets face it, we love a comparison in the music reviewing business but, who else sounds like Dane Etteridge?
Currently releasing their singles via independent labels, 'But You Do' is their latest offering distributed by Republic of Music. The track is available for free download and possess the same familiar melancholy drawl which we as Beautiful Boy fans have become accustomed to, but there are some great instrumental arrangements present. We are especially digging the psychedelic feel in the chorus and the uplifting electric guitar solo that nods toward a 1970s British rock 'We Are The Champions' vibe Queen would be proud of.
Other news from Beautiful Boy headquarters hints at a single release late September/ early October and perhaps an EP mid January of next year, both of which we are eagerly anticipating. You can also catch them live playing support for Holy Esque at Bleach, Brighton on the 11th of August. In the meantime, grab yourselves a free download of 'But You Do' below and check out the official video for 'Home' starring Tomi May.
