 LONDON, UK (Top40 Charts/ SONY Music UK) - What's that sound? It's acoustic guitar like we've never heard it before. It's things done to six strings that will boggle the ears and eyes. It's a throaty but gentle blues croon that speaks of backwoods, beaches and the badlands of, ah, Surrey. It's t*u*n*e*s, the likes of which have become a word-of-myspace cult across the Cornwall surf scene and landed prestigious support slots with Jack Johnson's cult buddy Donavon Frankenreiter. It's a genius cover of Massive Attack's Teardrop dropped into a set to silence a rowdy crowd whilst supporting Paulo Nutini during the World Cup or the Python-esque wit with which Newton Faulkner is fast winning over audiences across the UK.
