David J. Roch, formerly Little Lost David, is taking to the road with his unique brand of highly emotive and singularly gorgeous music.
His songs convey a type of drama that doesn’t always translate into good pop music; but in David’s case, the highs and lows come across as honest and sincere and make for an exciting new take on the torch song.
David name-checks jazz chanteuses Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday as personal inspirations, not to mention poets Simon Armitage and William Blake, and numbers Glasgow-based artist David Shrigley in his potent index of influences.
After a year of low-key gigs and an appearance in a Ch4 special, David has begun to attract attention from some very well connected individuals. His album is produced by Grinderman and Bad Seed James Sclavunos and September sees him on tour with I Am Arrows.
