About A Boy

You've been seduced by the book ... now let Damon Gough do the same. Doubling as a new Badly Drawn Boy album and the soundtrack to the film adaptation of Nick Hornby's best selling novel, 'About A Boy' was recorded in Los Angeles with producer and Bong Load Records founder Tom Rothrock (Beck, Elliot Smith) and is Damon Gough's first major release since 2000's million selling, Mercury Music Prize winning 'Hour Of The Bewilderbeast'. Badly Drawn Boy became involved with the film at the request of Nick Hornby himself: "I wanted to get on with my ownrecord. But I met them (the film's creators), read the book and started to get a good feeling" explains Gough. The soundtrack was written in its entirety by Badly Drawn Boy - including eight new compositions and all the incidental music. Includes the single 'Donna And Blitzen'.
