Badly Drawn Boy

Following Born in the U.K.'s release, Gough took a break from making music. He returned in 2009, when he was asked to write music for the film The Fattest Man in Britain. Those songs became that year's Is There Nothing We Could Do?, the debut release from his own BDB Records label. The following year, Gough issued his seventh studio album It's What I'm Thinking, Pt. 1: Photographing Snowflakes, which recalled the intimacy of The Hour of Bewilderbeast. The soundtrack for 2012's Being Flynn, an adaptation of author Nick Flynn's memoirs Another Bullshit Night in Suck City, found Gough reuniting with About a Boy director Paul Weitz. Apart from a 2015 tour to commemorate the 15th anniversary of The Hour of Bewilderbeast and a 2017 cameo on the British television series Cold Feet, little was heard from Gough until the May 2020 release of Badly Drawn Boy's eighth album Banana Skin Shoes. Recorded with co-producers including Gethin Pearson and Youth, it combined reflective lyrics with sounds spanning vintage Motown and pop-soul to alt-hip-hop collages. ~ Heather Phares & John Bush, Rovi
