Review
Ant is the now full time project of former Hefner drummer Anthony Harding. While in Hefner the bulk of the songs, which were written by by Darren Hayman were about bedsits and seedy sex, Ant's worldview is much more romantic and caring. Ant's girlfriend, whom many of the songs are about, is lovely and Swedish.
'Sad to See Its Morning' is a collection of B sides, lost out-of-print singles and compilation album tracks, all delivered with the grace of a love sick Leonard Cohen. Ant's instrument of choice is a classical guitar which he plays in an unorthodox fashion as he plays chords on it rather than strums it. Ant's vocal is not the best in the world ,but that's much of the point really. The delivery of the songs is very twee and sweet, a style I normally hate, but as Ant takes it back to Cohen's original style, this is more than forgiveable.
