$-lP"m@}  
Glasgow's Ally Kerr does a nice line in pop songs and "Off the f/]g@/`  
Radar" provides us with the opportunity to enjoy 12 more of +"D*0gYD  
his little pop masterpieces. |^t8ct?x~  
T0l bMp  
Opening the album is "Could Have Been a Contender" - all Z$ 6yB  
polished pop perfection that brings back memories of the H:`[$ ^  
jaunty hits of the Housemartins and their catalogue of E{E%nXR)  
intelligent and catchy songs. "I Think I'm Bleeding" has an K*oWcsu  
underlying country flavour to it. Whilst once again presented &+7G|4!y  
as a happy little song, there is more than a touch of J@Qw6J  
bitterness in his words. Funnily enough, the rather twee "The psAdYEGk!  
Toothbrush Song" would also make a quality country song due to >@St Kj  
its dry lyrics even if a cowboy would feel the need to k?ksv+e\  
accompany such emotions with bourbon rather than sparkling (C!33s1  
mineral water. Uv(Uj3D  
M\jTeB"Z  
The pace picks up with the title track "Off the Radar" that  2Ls  
truly highlights Mr Kerr's pop sensibilities and offsets his \7A6+[ `fa  
laidback vocal delivery with some spirited guitar. Loves lost m'ykDK\B  
and won (mostly lost though? and a sense of reflection on his ompkDl\E  
younger years seem a common theme to the songs in this album AV^Sla7|_  
and, indeed, regret is once more evident in "Is It Too Late to zIgD R  
Work for NASA" even if it is disguised here with wry humour. |T^c(RpOE  
If Bluesbunny closes his eyes, on "Mystery Star" Ally Kerr l} UOg   
seems to transform himself into Edinburgh master popsters Pdw[#X<[`  
Dropkick and there are certainly worse things to be than that. 8Qi@z Jq,  
If Bluesbunny had to pick a favourite track, it would probably J;cTEB  
be "Amorino" evoking, as it does, the melancholic pleasures of :{KoZd  
heartbreak. #F!'B |n  
cQldBc  
The thing that impresses most about this album is the songs :,BKB*a\  
themselves. Well crafted and melodic with sharp and observant H}B%OFI\+  
lyrics, they are however presented as a whole lot fluffier G!3d!$t  
than they actually are. It must be Ally Kerr's choice to do so 0N19R5NN8  
but it does seem that he is deliberately avoiding giving any yZ]u{LJS  
kind of offense. Maybe he never gets angry himself - although TEi~X 2u  
his words suggest otherwise -but Bluesbunny feels that he is c;pv< lX'  
doing his own songs a disservice here by sprinkling an inch of V_Oj?MMp n  
icing sugar on everything. It is not necessary for everything {expx<+4F  
in life to have a cherry on top for it to be appetising.  ]7yr.4?a  
hIv8A_>@`  
Overall, this is a happy, upbeat album that is just a bit too aZ{]t:]  
polite and well mannered to try and force itself upon your Kt3 ]r:&J  
affections. The production and arrangements are smoother than 8RJ^e[?o(  
your average Starbuck's decaf latte but it is perhaps fair y,QJy=?  
comment to say that the omnipresent sugar coating will suit ;}k9YlQrN  
his fans. However, and maybe this is a reviewer thing, a bit o0'!u  
of fire and even some unpredictability would have been  uWE :3  
welcome. Then again, the Bluesbunny was always a quadruple vMB`TpZ  
espresso kind of guy. o)pso\;

Ally Kerr是来自苏格兰的Indie pop乐队(也是主唱的名字),融合了苏格兰传统民谣和清新独立流行风格,延续了Indie一贯的清新吉他风格。悦耳而淳朴,凄美而哀伤,有那么一丝丝迷惘,当你聆听Calling Out To You这张专辑的时候这一类的形容词可能会脱口而出。这样悦耳动听的音乐出自格拉斯哥唱作人Ally Kerr之手。继Belle & Sebastian, Camera Obscura 之后,苏格兰的indie 风暴就从未停止过,如今Ally Kerr继续着他们的征程。他不仅继承苏格兰indie pop团惯有的风格,从Ally Kerr身上,我们还能够体会到那种异乎寻常的与众不同的气质。在苏格兰,人们将他称之为“最富生趣和最创造性的音乐家”。2004年Ally Kerr在日本发行唱片,是真正为了追求梦想的音乐人。而后为TV动画《虫师》演唱的OP"The Sore Feet Song",使Ally Kerr为更多的人所熟知。(来自网络) 1$#{om9
