Release Notes:

'Love Will Find You' is the stunning second album fromYorkshire man Findlay Brown, produced by former Suedeguitarist turned uber producer Bernard Butler, and it heraldsa dramatic change in musical direction.

The booming echoes of the Ronettes in the drums of the openingtitle track immediately lay bare this album's debt to vintagepop, but Findlay's Orbison-esque vocals create a moresumptuous emotional swell that make this so much more than anexercise in retro stylistics.

Elsewhere the gorgeous 'Everybody Needs Love' and 'I Had ADream' offer the warm familiarity of melodies you think youknow and love, but can't quite remember where from, as if theyhave already become weaved into your DNA from years of beinglost in music. 'Holding Back The Night' is an upbeat,beautifully arranged track with Findlay's trademark sonorousvocals enhancing a magical song, while 'Nobody Cared' harksback to The Righteous Brothers, a vintage, melodic song at itsbest. More esoteric are the Joe-Meek-produces-The-Righteous-Brothers sweep of 'I Still Want You', punctuated with'Telstar- style electric organ, the weary waltz of 'If ICould Do It Again' and the urgent jive of 'That's Right'.

So there are tales of the unexpected here if you want them,but lyrically as well as musically, this is an album which ishappy not to reinvent the wheel. 'I wanted the words to besimple and straightforward too,' Findlay admits. 'Both recordsI have done have been romantic records, but the first albumwas more personal, whereas I wanted these to be universalthemes, which are love songs but are also spiritual,reflecting my feelings about the world in general. It soundsdaft but I do feel like I'm on a spiritual journey, and thisis just the next step.'

And it's not just a small step, it's a giant leap. On onelevel, you could be forgiven for regarding this as a veryconservative record, steeped as it is in songwriting values asold as rock'n'roll itself. But regarded in context alongsidehis previous work and the musical climate that surrounds him,you realise Findlay Brown has made the kind of radicalcreative departure that few mainstream artists ever dare toattempt.

Most importantly, you'll soon realise they don't write songslike this any more. Another piece of hoary old wisdom thatwe're not afraid to throw out there, and another cliche whichwill seem truer than ever the more you listen to this bold,refreshing and beautiful album.
