Andy Lucas releases his debut album “Weekend Millionaire” on Glasgow label Crimp Records.
The album is lyrically dark, self deprecating, and slightly schizophrenic, but is delivered with Andy’s wry humour.
Having been a session pianist and working musician for several years, Andy has stepped out of the shadows and put together an album full of tales we can all at times empathise with, looking at various situations in life through many different eyes.
With swirling arrangements and picture postcard storyboards of small town life, album that deserves your attention for it’s clever, catchy and witty content, brought to life in Andy’s own unique way.
“Einstein and The Taxi Driver”, a track taken from the album, has also been used on the soundtrack to the Scottish film “Fast Romance” which was released in Summer ’10.
“It’s good. Very good. One of the finest debut albums I’ve heard in a long long time.”
