David Ford

David Ford is a British singer-songwriter, currently living in Lewes, near Brighton. He first achieved prominence with the indie rock group Easyworld, who released an independent mini-album, ...Better Ways to Self Destruct and two full-length albums on Jive Records before disbanding in 2004.

Ford branched into a solo career soon after, and he now has a large following having released two albums.

Strident, resistant and ceaselessly melodic, Songs For The Road is the second album from David Ford and was released in August 2007.

The triumphant swell of the album is cut from the breadth of David’s encounters during his extensive tours through the USA, Australia and Canada during 2006.

Following the acclaimed release of his debut album I Sincerely Apologise For The Trouble I Have Caused in the UK, Ford spent much of 2006 in the U.S where it was met with an amazing reception. Stunning reviews ran in the New York Times, Rolling Stone, the LA Times and the Toronto Star and Ford found himself championed by NBC’s Carson Daly on whose ‘coast to coast’ show he appeared three times.

“Simultaneously lacerating and tender” **** Q “One foot in David Gray’s camp and one in Kurt Cobain’s… in between is a life lived.” WORD “Continues to show how this “sensitive singer songwriter” thing should really be done” – SUNDAY TIMES “as full of romantic doom as anything you’ll hear this year. One to watch.” UNCUT “like a hurricane in a nursery” TORONTO STAR “doesn’t get any grander than this” NEW YORK TIMES “after the first song we mumbled, "is this for real...?" It was simply mesmerizing” TRIPWIRE

David is signed to Independiente.
