Brightly Painted One by Tiny Ruins
This NZ act that came recommended to
me by Ian, and thanks, it is a lovely album musically with interesting lyrics.
All the Little Lights by Passenger
This act passed me by for a while but
they are now on my radar and this album is currently on high rotation at home.
Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance by
Belle and Sebastian
I have been a big fan of this band for
some time now and I am looking forward to finally seeing them live in a few
weeks time.
Liquid Spirit by Gregory Porter
The man with the voice of honey and
smoke gives a great soulful performance on this jazzy album.
Head Down by Rival Sons
Hard rocking good ol’ boys play it
hard and fast.
Making Mirrors by Gotye
This is a quirky album that I finally
got around to buying on the strength of ‘that single’.
Like I Used To by Lucy Rose
This artist has the voice of an angel
and I could listen to her all night.
The Late Night Tales series of compilation
tracks by a named artist are fabulous for their variety and interest, and this
one is a good example too.
What a Terrible World, What a
Beautiful World by The Decemberists
Bought when we saw this act recently
and it is a slight departure from some of their other albums as they experiment
with a variety of genres, very successfully to my mind.
XOA by Anais Mitchell
This was an impulse buy by Sue and I
am so glad she did as this artist has a divine sound on this spare and clean
album.
Wanted on Voyage by George Ezra
Another special voice that is hard to believe
and he uses it well on this soulful pop album.
The Race for Space by Public Service Broadcasting
A rather specialist album that won’t
appeal to everyone but I found the thematic arrangement interesting even if the
execution was not so gripping.
Archive Series Volume 1 by Iron & Wine
I have a great deal of affection for
this band and I just had to get this album which fleshes out their back
catalogue.
