Nev Cottee may hail from Manchester (his former band Proud Mary were the first signing to Noel Gallagher's Sour Mash label) yet his heart and muse seem firmly attached to some outpost in the southern states of America, and the sun-kissed atmosphere and narcotically-enhanced mellifluousness of 'Broken Flowers' will have it taking pride of place in the more enterprising head's collection. Something akin to a Ry Cooder platter enhanced by the production and arrangement nous of Air's 'Virgin Suicides', 'Broken Flowers' is a thing of lazy majesty indeed.
