DAVE HOUSE [8]

‘INTERSECTIONS’

(BANQUET)

If commercial success was correlated to charm and songwriting class, ‘Intersections’, The Steal bassist Dave House’s third solo album, would be a sure-fire bet to go Platinum. On this record, he sounds more assured than ever. Much like one of his heroes, Billy Bragg, House isn’t naturally gifted with a brilliant singing voice, but on ‘Intersections’ he sounds charming – marrying his idiosyncratic vocal with marvellous melodies and lyrics that wittily observe the world around him, and introspectively and maturely express the man’s personal resolve and insecurities. ‘Intersections’ is a wonderfully endearing, catchy and addictive guitar-pop record, delivered by an underrated British talent.
