The Boy Least Likely To

The Boy Least Likely To是一支英国的indie乐队，具体说应该是Twee Pop
卡通小动物的主题若干。是他们固定的标志吧。提一下专辑里面乐器的组合，因为自己相当喜爱这种“在细节处搞小动作的声音”。
The Boy Least Likely To is a duo made up of singer/lyricist Jof Owen and Pete Hobbs. Owen writes the words and sings them; Hobbs writes the music and plays it. Formed in the English countryside (specifically Wendover), the Boy Least Likely To is influenced by country storytellers like Marty Robbins, C-86 indie pop groups like the Pastels and Television Personalities, and turn-of-the-century pop groups like Belle & Sebastian and Kenickie. They began releasing records on their own Too Young to Die label in 2003. The Papercuts 7" was first; then came the incredibly good Be Gentle with Me/Hugging My Grudge later in the year. The Fur Soft as Fur single followed in 2004 and the Best Party Ever album (which contained many of the songs released as singles) was unleashed in February of 2005. The record garnered some good reviews and lots of attention from blogs, all of it well deserved. Live shows in the U.K. and Europe were undertaken to support the album, and the rest of 2005 saw re-releases of Papercuts and Hugging My Grudge on 7" and an iTunes U.K.-only release of Monsters. The Best Party Ever was issued in America in early 2006 and the band toured the U.S., both as an opening act for James Blunt and as a headliner. Along with kindred spirit Jim Noir, the Boy Least Likely To is one of the freshest and most exciting indie pop groups to surface in the mid-decade.
