NEON HEARTS by X LION TAMER by leithrecords
When Tony Taylor meandered into Edinburgh a decade and a half ago, he was astonished by the lack of lions prowling the streets. With no beasts to tame, and void of the adrenalin that his previous profession channelled, he soon became bankrupt both financially and emotionally. Fortunately, it wasn’t too long before he discovered that he was a one-man electro pop phenomenon and started liberating people’s eardrums under the guise of X Lion Tamer.*
Currently he’s wallowing in massive, and well-deserved, coverage, with Vic Galloway and the List trail blazing the way. Proudly pop tastic, Neon Hearts is what the song would look like if the song was in a tangible form. Bright, glowing, electric loveliness – yes please.
*Alternatively he named himself after Wire’s song ‘Ex Lion Tamer’ before discovering someone else had already done this, then resorting to a single, powerful, consonant. Both stories are equally plausible.
