"It was not your fault but mine, and it was your heart on the line. I really f*cked it up this time, didn't I my dear?"
Being off work this week has given me some much-prized time to add to my music collection. A few hours here and there on trains is pure bliss, iPod in, watching the city of London recede into green, and the sky change in the Autumn light.
My current obsessions also include:
Wild Beasts, 'All the Kings' Men' - possibly the perfect tune. I actually can't get enough of it. His voice is resonantly sexy, veering happily between falsetto and rich, deep tones. Love love love it.
Mumford & Sons, 'Little Lion Man' - Heartfelt, vibrant folk, lovely lyrics spat over frantic guitar and ukelele. Gorgeous
Phenomenal Handclap Band, '15 to 20' - you'll either find it beguiling or hugely irritating and you'll be joining in the first time you hear it. Insanely catchy.
The Asteroids Galaxy Tour, 'The Golden Age' - impossibly upbeat Scandinavian quirky pop with candy sweet vocals and a swing undertone. Makes you smile.
Emiliana Torrini, 'Me and Armini' - half-Icelandic, half-Italian, the sweetest voice you've ever heard, same odd qualities as Bjork but more melodic.
Nextmen & Dynamite MC, 'Round of Applause' - old-school, sampley hip-hop, rich and resonant MC-ing
Hope you enjoy another little eclectic mix....
