"A terrific debut...a great album" - Bob Harris, BBC Radio2 "..Very rarely is an album produced that it?s possible to fall in love with entirely, but "Little Happyhells" is fabulous from start to finish.. " Roy McMillan, Manx Radio Truman Falls deliver their long awaited debut album, to excellent reviews. It's Bacharach, the Beach Boys and Nilson all rolled into a very original package. Dark, witty lyrics blended seamlessly with sunny, singable melodies. If you like Josh Rouse, Tim Burgess, or Sondre Lerche, you will undoubtedly love this. The band 'Truman Falls' compliments the remarkable original material created by Simon Rea , an extremely gifted singer-songwriter from the Isle of Man. At a time when material from musicians like The Thrills, Cosmic Rough Riders, the Flaming Lips and Beck are taking pride of place in so many record collections, "Little Happyhells" is a perfect fit. The album combines timeless, well crafted songs, polished off with a contemporary, alternative edge. Simon's songwriting style is indisputably original and yet at the same time pays subtle homage to some of the greatest songwriters of all time, from Bacharach to the Beach Boys. (Welcome) 1.
