"...sounds grand-scaled, accomplished and melodically..."

STRANDED CONQUEROR
Stranded conqueror is that most revealing of entities – the oneman
band. Usually, it’s a sign that a certain someone (in this instance, Chicago’s Patrick Weymann) doesn’t think anyone else can do
it better than themselves and, usually, they’re quite deluded. Except for Dave Grohl, of course. But our Paddy is self-aware enough
to know of the perils of working alone, which is why his demo EP avoids all the usual pitfalls (bad singing, bad arrangements,
self-indulgent plodding) and sounds as grand-scaled, accomplished and melodically
trustworthy as any post-My Bloody Valentine shoegaze quartet worth their plectra. A respectable singer, a great all-round player and some sweet tunes render the ‘Conqueror
a lone-wolf success story.
