The Lodger was formulated by Pontefract-born songwriter Ben Siddall inside a Leeds bedsit. After a few 7-inch singles on a variety of independent labels such as Angular Records and Dance to the Radio, a debut album titled “Grown-Ups” was released in June 2007 around the world. This was swiftly followed up by a second record in May 2008, “Life is Sweet” which was again licensed to various labels all over the universe including the legendary Slumberland Records in the USA and coincided with tours of UK, Europe, Japan and USA.

A new 4 song 7” E.P. led by the track “I Think I Need You” will be released this June on Elefant Records of Madrid (Camera Obscura, Au Revoir Simone et al), just in time for the sunshine…in the meantime Ben is locked in the study with guitars and keyboards and notebooks until Album #3 pops out.

Is the comment below designed to put off any potential listeners? Remind me of Feeder. Ugh. You may as well say they remind me of The Feeling.
