We Fell To Earth’s debut album contains grains of that desert night ambiance. Richard and Wendy’s way with harmonies is almost ecclesiastical on the likes of Lights Out, but tasty electronics are never far away, notably on the pulsing, bleeping Sovereign.
David Bowie / Heroes Dreamy. This song puts me in a good mood. I love to blast it and chase the animals around the house. They like it too. I love the desperation in his voice in the last verse. It makes me wish I was him.
With comparisons to Joanna Newsom, Marissa Nadler and Karen Dalton, Californian folk singer Alela Diane is back with her new album To Be Still. Having captured hearts with her glorious debut, The Pirate’s Gospel (named Rough Trade Shop’s number one Album of 2006), Diane is one of the world’s most bewitching new songwriters.
Fairport Convention / Who Knows Where The Time Goes Sandy Denny is one of my favorite vocalists- such purity and grace in the way she carries a melody. The words of this song are ringing true for the way my days have been passing lately. Too soon gone, not sure what happened.
