theboylucas releases MP3-only track through City Slang
8 October 2001

20 year old leftfield solo artist and magazine publisher theboylucas, aka Gunfight 29, born James Lucas, hails from Bristol, England and released his debut, self produced album Out Of The Wires late last month.
    The disc is on tiny but important UK indie imprint Output Recordings and is available through Amazon UK; it remains obscure like its artist, although it has picked up some highly favorable press from such sources as the NME.
    Output Recordings is home to Four Tet, Circlesquare, and 7 Hurtz. It’s headed up by producer Trevor Jackson, aka The Underdog and Playgroup, who has remixed, among many others, The Cure, Death In Vegas, Massive Attack, and U2.
    Now Berlin based City Slang Records has scored an exlusive with theboylucas: they have posted, for the month of October only, a free MP3 download of the non-album track The Buoy Burnt Blue. The nearly five minute track features guitars, piano, drums, and processed vocals. It is gentle, surrealistic, and evocative—and definitely recommended. To get it, click the 'mp3 club' link on the City Slang Website and sign up if you’re not already a member—it’s free.
    You can hear a full length Shockwave stream of theboylucas’ album track Bogs Darking on the artist’s NME 'microsite'; check our link. | City Slang Records | | Output Recordings (coming soon) | | CD from Amazon UK | | theboylucas on NME.com | | top of page |
