Artist description
The Sweet Chap is a man at one with technology, a man at ease with his ability, a man who realises, and can manipulate, the power of song.
From the seaside town of Brighton, The Sweet Chap (AKA Mike Comber) was privy to the diverse influences only Brighton can provide. Student nights, live gigs @ the legendary Concorde or pure soulful summertime jamming on the beach, all these experiences and influences were wrestling for space within The Sweet Chap's psyche from a tender age.
Fast forward through numerous bands, singing/songwriting, lead and rhythm guitars, all gaining The Sweet Chap priceless performing experience. Developing a natural feel for the studio, The Sweet Chap moved into production and manned the panel for Lumen Essence studios in Brighton, collaborating with artists on the Lumen Essence label such as 'The Shadowless Man' and 'Leon9'. The Sweet Chap learnt the studios capabilities swiftly and soon began recording his first album 'Disco for a Domestic'.
'Disco for a Domestic' is the sound of The Sweet Chap's multi-faceted approach to music. A technological genius fighting with a soul laid bare, the genre-breaker who utilises New Orleans brass alongside P-Funk basslines but isn't yet willing to deny his folk roots. As bass, beats and twisted disco entwine with the stark beauty of a crumbling ego and torn priorities it creates a sense that you're eavesdropping on a private musical conversation between a man and his mind.
From the opening track 'Rummage' the clever lyrical twists draw you to the point where you're hanging on the storytellers every word, tales of unhappy marriage (Rummage), the workaholic we're all glad not to be (Novelty Mouse Mat) and the fight between a mans libido and his sensibilities (Horsey). 'Disco for a Domestic' is littered with situations we all know…or know someone who knows.
If you're still searching for your soundtrack to our twisted new millennium, look no further because you've just discovered Cyber Sleaze, Sweet Chap style.
