The
Idle Lovers bill themselves as 'A Rustic Fantasy' created by Roger
Hunt
from Ottery St Mary. They say they're just 'hicks and dreamers'.
Take a listen and tell them what you think.
Tell me about
Idle Lovers? The
band was born in a garage in the sticks and with the help of a thesaurus
and a deadline The Idle Lovers were named.
How
would you describe your music in just three words? Quirky, curvy and compelling.
You've
chosen to demo a track called "Rusting Chassis"... what's
it all about? It's
about a sad a beautiful world. This is probably the mellowest track
on the CD. It's about someone who has spent their whole life chasing
memories.
From
the CD cover
Which
records would we find in your collection?
Dylan, Groundhogs, Supergrass, Sparklehorse etc.
If you were throwing
a dinner party who would you invite and why? Jack
Kerouac, Robert Capa (war photographer) and Tori Amos. People who
are not afraid to stick their heads above the firing line. Talented
and sexy.
What
are the highs and lows of living in Devon?
The sea and the ice cream are the highs and second home owners,
summer traffic and not being on the bands' tour route are the lows.
