The Boy Who Trapped the Sun
Grizzly Bear Review: Tuesday June 29, 2010
Just enough time to grab a drink before we were treated to the appearance of Colin MacLeod, the enigmatic one man band behind The Boy Who Trapped The Sun moniker.
Colin’s quiet entrance and humble introduction seemed to be indicative of his musical style – simple, yet packing one hell of an emotional punch. In the time it took to perform one song, The Boy had captivated all by the raw emotion in his voice, the beautiful guitar crescendo climaxing just as the wind picked up, creating, as the man himself noted, his very own special effects. 'Katy', his current single, proved the highlight and made one feel that Colin is truly on the cusp of greatness. The wonderfully heartfelt intonations in his voice meandered between sad and hopeful in equal measure, bringing an atmospheric quality to the set.
