Review: Geoffrey O’Connor - Vanity Is Foreve ..On his artistic triumph ‘Vanity Is Forever’, Geoffrey O’Connor finds himself a detached observer of his own party, writes HANNAH BROOKS . Vanity Is Forever is a trip into a realm Geoffrey O’Connor has only recently come to occupy. It’s a Lynchian boudoir of dreams, filled with Argento angels fluttering bedroom eyes tinted by blush-coloured lights. A place where gold-plated heroines steal scenes and promises of eternal love are nothing more than a boozy lunch; fleeting but worth every mouthful. Within this seductive space lounges a newly phlegmatic O’Connor. Having performed under different guises for close to ...Mess and Noise7 November 2011

Geoffrey O'ConnorLoving this track "Whatever Leads Me To You" by Australian artist Geoffrey O'Connor , the frontman for the band Crayon Fields . ' Vanity Forever ' is his first album as a solo artist under his own name and this first single is a beaut! Gorgeous track that takes me back to the hey days of 90's brit-pop. Like a mixture of David Bowie & Jarvis Cocker, it's an exquisite sultry track. Download the track below and check out the stylishly colorful video for it.

Feature: Geoffrey O’Connor: ‘I’m Suddenly Em ..In amongst a solo US tour with Jens Lekman, Melbourne Festival supports with Bachelorette, and his own album launch shows, DOUG WALLEN finds time to talk to Geoffrey O’Connor about stage presentation, his control freak tendencies, and ‘brutally clean sounds’. Geoffrey O’Connor may seem meek at first pass, but he’s proven a dab hand at songwriting. Between his Melbourne band The Crayon Fields, his bygone solo project Sly Hats and his current outing under his birth name, the whispery pop crooner now has four moody, sophisticated albums under his belt. We’re talking pop of the indie ...Mess and Noise11 October 2011

News: First Listen: Geoffrey O’Connor ‘Vanit ..Geoffrey O’Connor has put The Crayon Fields on hold, and dropped the Sly Hats moniker, to release the icy synth-pop masterpiece he’s always threatened to make. Out today (September 24) through Chapter Music, Vanity Is Forever pits O’Connor’s breathy meditations on love, lust and everything in between (ecstasy, love, pride, failure, etc. etc.) over a decidedly ’80s soft-rock blend of detached synthscapes, faux panpipes, gated drums and orchestral and sweeps. Two years in the making, it was recorded at Head Gap by Neil Thomason, Audrey Studios by Craig Pilkington, and Dryburgh St by O’Connor himself ...Mess and Noise23 September 2011
