You Don't Want
A Boyfriend
- Melody Maker - April 1991
Mercifully, this isn't the cartoon chas troupe once fronted by Jon
Beast, the notorious fat bastard who now earns a living getting ritually
abused at the start of Carter USM gigs. No, this Brian is something
different; two sensitive young chaps with acoustic guitars, and a rather
touching gently bitter lament full of painful, hard-earned wisdom. Tender
like a bruise.
- In Dublin - 24 April 1991
Once again the brains behind Brian have come up with an understated
and humourous artifact which embodies the beauty of simplicity - and
that's just the sleeve! Indeed much the same can be said of You Don't
Want A Boyfriend. Materialising as a mere whisper, this glistening guitar
figurine initially seems too fragile to force an impression. But with
the warm dawning of strings all is changed utterly and a not at all
terrible beauty is born.
