Leeds is Royston Langdon's gorgeous solo project. He released Everything is Dandy this year. The sophisticated well arranged tracks prove to be a road trip into the resolution of his aging soul. He still retains his multi ranged octave voice that slides easily against the keys which he plays as smoothly as the bass. An experienced multi instrumentalist, the lead singer of Spacehog ready to show his ever reaching depth on his solo endeavor.
This is a stand out track.
Royston's minimalist video of a couple of a aging couple who are reaching back in time for the memories of their wedding. "I never could say that it was true. I lost my way with you" A chic well dressed pair both wearing expensive sunglasses. They waft in estranged silence wit only the loveless bride mouthing the words. The two move between an empty parking garage and an empty church. Their wedding from the 60s based on her simple A lined dress and his sliced back hair and a cigarette leaning from his fingers. They both watch the grainy video with limited emotion although the truth could be hidden behind their RayBans. The space between is evident as Royston sings languidly against the keys. "Say you love. Say you love me do"
The church scene cuts quickly to a winding road where an extravagant sportscar races against the railess edge. It brought to mind the scene "To Catch A Thief". The car is then shown to be the lone car in the parking lot. Within seconds, the suited husband is lying in mortem on the concrete. The ringless wife stands by the door. What became of these people.....
