More of wot I have heard…

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.  

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.
