Description
About A Boy is an album by Badly Drawn Boy (Damon Gough) released in 2002 as the soundtrack to the film starring Hugh Grant and Rachel Weisz.
About A Boy is a 2002 comedy-drama film directed by brothers Chris Weitz and Paul Weitz, based on the novel of the same name by Nick Hornby.
Gough was chosen to compose and perform the entire soundtrack. In About A Boy author Nick Hornbys book 31 Songs, he lists Goughs track A Minor Incident as one of the songs that has had an effect on his life.
Of 16 tracks, seven are instrumental passages that realise Damon Goughs penchant for pretty orchestral reveries. The other nine, meanwhile, are fully formed new Badly Drawn Boy songs, rarely straying far from the templates set on his The Hour Of The Bewilderbeast album.
Now reissued on deluxe vinyl by XL Records.
