January Sounds

January themes: storms, Gaiman, Trump, Traitors, radiators, painting and fibre.

• The Aeroplane - Tim Minchin & Asmara Feik

  Song of the month. Sentimental in all the right ways.

• Julie - Horsegirl

  Sparce yet every sound is huge. The guitar soloing over the top is fab… and the harmonies are lush. Looking forward to the album.

• Defying Gravity - Clyde & Gracie Lawrence

  Now that’s how to do NYE!

• Guy Fawkes Tesco Dissociation - jasmine.4.t

  Great song, great production and Muppet Phoebe is a welcome twist to any music video!

• Sea, Swallow Me - Cocteau Twins

  Hope for the world hearing the youth of today are doing an ear apiece of their AirPods and shared listening to Cocteau Twins in class.

• Virginia - Boys Go To Jupiter

  This is one of those songs that an algorithm served up and I couldn’t help but bop along.

• This Side of the Island - Hamilton Leithauser

  Lead singer of The Walkmen - nice to hear this new stuff.

• Leaving Home - Yo La Tengo

  The chilledness of it all.

• Back To Black - The Zutons

  Covering the artist that made a cover of their song a standard.

• light dark light - Fred again.. & Angie McMahon

  January music without question.

• Hold On - Former Champ

  Love the vocals and the tight Glasgow pop sound.

• Actor - Goodnight Louisa

  The synth sounds so ritch and the layers of vocals and orchestration near the end is magnificent.
