David Kilgour is a guitar god for guitar atheists. He's worthy of worship, but his style neither demands nor expects it, all of which only serves to increase his otherworldly cool. Left by Soft, his first album in four years with the Heavy Eights, comes on the heels of the Clean's excellent 2009 outing, Mister Pop. "It's probably the first real "band" LP I've made since Frozen Orange or the David Kilgour and the Heavy Eights' LP from the mid '90s," says Kilgour of Left by Soft. The Heavy Eights are Taane Tokona, Tony de Raad, and Thomas Bell.
