Daves debut album has pretty much been created solely by himself. He has written, performed and produced his debut release. The album features a guest vocal from South African actress and singer Fem Belling, a corking bass line from Alan Hill (aka Big Al) on Gods Letter recorded back in 2003 and the same eery guitar work from the orginal co-creator of Mr Dream Man on the new one, Chris Fairless.
Recorded within 5 different studios around the UK - Eightbarr Studios (London), J10 Studios (Coventry), Sonic Solutions (London), The Mini Lab (Coventry), The Sonic Kitchen (Bournemouth), Motivation Records proudly presents Dave Loughran " One Of These, One Of Those, One Of Them".

REVIEWS
God's Letter -
Although distinctly different to most of his contemporary counterparts, Dave Loughran's inspirations are hard to ignore. With obvious reggae influences, his music is vaguely reminiscent of Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros. Heavy emphasis is placed on his guitar playing, which is extraordinary, especially with the counter-intuitive time signature changes. However, these seem to work well, and flow with the music. The most interesting thing about Loughran's music, however, is that almost every instrument you hear he plays himself.
