Hey, scruffy man
Hey, Dapper Dan
You've both got your style
But Brother,
You're never fully dressed
Without a smile
Your clothes may be Beau Brummelly
They stand out a mile
But Brother,
You're never fully dressed
Without a smile
Who cares what they're wearing
On Main Street or Saville Row,
It's what you wear from ear to ear
And not from head to toe
That matters
So, Senator,
So, Janitor,
So long for a while
Remember,
You're never fully dressed
Without a smile
So Senator
So Janitor
So long for a while
Remember,
You're never fully dressed
Thought you may wear the best,
You're never fully dressed
Without a smile
The new EP from Scottish songwriter Alec Bowman_Clarke goes deep, setting vulnerable lyrics to gentle melodies & stripped-back arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 30, 2021
Alec Bowman perfectly captures the dark soil under the pastoral world of British folk with this collection of melancholy originals. Bandcamp New & Notable May 12, 2020

This is absolute genius. Each song has its own unique mood, but what they all have in common is that they take their time, allowing the lush, patient, dazzlingly imaginative arrangements to gradually blossom. There are a dizzying variety of instrumental textures, pleasure and wonderment around every turn. I'm getting hints of Will Oldham circa "Arise Therefore," though that album is much more spare. Proof that "experimental" doesn't necessarily mean noisy. Joe Madden
