Introduced by a warm and timeless piano intro, ‘Damaged Goods’ is exactly the opposite of what its title implies; a bright, welcoming piece, the track sees Seán Finn And The Late Bloomers indulging in nostalgic and minimal power-pop stylings, truly vibrant and soulful. There’s a hint of ’60s elegance in it all: with an all-organic instrumentation and true human performers, the record is extremely relatable and friendly.
Based in London, the talented outfit is headed by Seán Finn, lending his evocative crooning and nuanced vocals to the cause. Again, his traditional and classy approach to the songs makes a big difference, allowing the project to stand out in a crowded industry. ‘Damaged Goods’ is the strongest evidence of that; with deep, meaningful lyricism and a colourful instrumental, is the perfect point of entry into Seán Finn And The Late Bloomers’s artistic universe.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, the group explain: “The song ponders the hardships faced by young women as they leave home and face the world on their own. Despite the heavy topic, the narrator assures them that one day their prince will come”.
