Truman Falls
"A terrific debut " - Bob Harris
Since releasing their gorgeous alt-country album 'Little Happyhells' in 2003,
Truman Falls have been gaining fans by the truckload. Their stunning melodies,
heartbreaking lyrical imagery and stellar, mood-lifting production has been
seeping into people's hearts. BBC Radio2's Bob Harris called it a 'Terrific debut; a great album'; Roy McMillan (Manx Radio Arts Editor) described it as "..simply gorgeous..aching, poignant and melodic, the songs are beautiful, memorable and beg to be heard again and again.." and Danny Lacey from Ridings FM, Leeds, admitted "my copy of the album is beginning to wear out it's being played so much".
And they can now boast fans of their own idols! Nashville star JOSH ROUSE asked them to support him on tour, and critically acclaimed former Pulp man (& guitarist for Beth Orton/Robbie Williams among others), singer songwriter RICHARD HAWLEY has been personally namechecking the band on his own website forums...Decide for yourselves: -

| "LITTLE HAPPYHELLS..." (enhanced album) | £10.99 |
| Truman Falls deliver their long awaited debut album, to excellent reviews. It's Bacharach, the Beach Boys and Nilson all rolled into a very original package. Dark, witty lyrics blended seamlessly with sunny, singable melodies. If you like Josh Rouse, Tim Burgess, or Sondre Lerche, you will undoubtedly love this. The band 'Truman Falls' compliments the remarkable original material created by Simon Rea , an extremely gifted singer-songwriter from the Isle of Man. |  |
| At a time when material from musicians like The Thrills, Cosmic Rough Riders, the Flaming Lips and Beck are taking pride of place in so many record collections, "Little Happyhells" is a perfect fit. The album combines timeless, well crafted songs, polished off with a contemporary, alternative edge. Simon's song-writing style is indisputably original and yet at the same time pays subtle homage to some of the greatest songwriters of all time, from Bacharach to the Beach Boys. Includes mini documentary about the band. | |
