Badly Drawn Boy aka Damon Gough
|
|
2000
Winner: Badly Drawn Boy - The Hour of Bewilderbeast
Sounds like: Classic British parish pop.
Key track: Bewilderbeast - A lusciously orchestrated instrumental which evokes the the Beatles and the Kinks.
Subsequent career: Singer-songwriter Damon Gough earned a reputation for sprawling, shambolic gigs. His next record was the more focused soundtrack to the Hugh Grant film About A Boy.
Mercury barometer: Middling - The album was much more accessible than previous years' winners.
Losers: Coldplay - Parachutes, Doves - Lost Souls
