CRYBABY (UK)

Crybaby make music for grown-ups, music for those amongst us who know that both Pain and pleasure can be brutal but temporary, so you should hang onto their redemptive and restorative power as long as you can. Crybaby’s songs look at the devices and tools we use to gain the upper hand in relationships, how we cope with the presence – and the loss – of others, and they do all that in a wonderful, moving sort of way we can all understand. Bristol's Danny Coughlan is from a large, musical Irish family and being a musician was his only ambition from an early age. However, it wasn't until November 2010 when Danny, paying the bills by working on a building site, bought a 4-track tape machine on eBay and began to write a load of new songs that drew on all the records he’s loved since childhood. His demos came to the attention of Helium Records who put Danny in the studio with Merrick (Chris Hughes) from Adam & The Ants, who plays drums on several songs and co-produced the record with Mark Frith. What emerged from the sessions was Crybaby proper. Named after Garnet Mimms’ Cry Baby – one of the truly seminal songs in the development of soul music, it was famously covered by Janis Joplin – the name also references the John Waters film and hints at that peculiarly lachrymose strain of early 60s RnB. The resulting self-titled album is a collection of blissfully spare, fully focussed pieces propelled by dramatic imagery and gripping melody.
