In a hilariously misguided move, Tom Odell's father has contacted NME to complain about the music magazine's scathing review of Odell's album Long Way Down.
In a phone call to NME, Odell's father criticised the mag for painting his son as a "poor, misguided wannabe who's fallen into the hands of the music industry equivalent of Hungarian sex traffickers."
Mark Beaumont, who wrote the review, added that: "I wish I could say there's a place reserved in hell for Tom Odell. There's not. Just loads more Brits. He'll be all over 2013 like a virulent dose of musical syphilis, pounding and warbling away at every Papal election and Bradley Wiggins finishing line."
NME's deputy editor further commented on Twitter, saying that you "can't unheard" the music.
Odell is signed to Lily Allen's In The Name Of label and won this year's Brit Critic' Choice award.
Long Way Down will be released on June 24th.
