Hand Built By Robots—which includes the single “Dream Catch Me”— Newton Faulkner combines finger-picking, string-tapping and percussive drumming on the guitar’s body to generate both melody and rhythm on the same instrument.
“If Prince was an English hippie who was obsessed with Bobby McFerrin-esque percussion and had long cinnamon dreadlocks, you’d have Faulkner.” ~
Rollingstone.com
“His astonishing virtuoso technique makes Newton Faulkner the cream of the guitar-pop crop. His playing is down and dirty, interludes of pure beauty interspersed with ultraviolence.” ~
London Sunday Times
