🎤 Bon Iver

🥉 There’s A Rhythmn

“There aren’t any (songs) in here” ♥️
- Justin Vernon in The Times this month.

So as he leaves behind the snow, is this tune a goodbye to Bon Iver, or see the last track on the LP, Au Revoir?

🎵 Everything Is Peaceful Love

When the album was released back in April, this soulful track on fABLE stood out for me straight away. I can still hear Prince in the music 😊

🎵 AWARDS SEASON

The final song on SABLE, and a new path is laid 🥹

🎶 You can be remade
You can live again 🎶

The saxophone midway through a largely ambient track is as magnificent as it is unexpected 🎷

Another score, this time to accompany a 1921 short film of the same name, almost but not quite the name with which we are all familiar. Contemporary classical, majestic and yes, cinematic 😊

Fossil Collective is a shoo-in for my #5DebutAlbums1014

As well as Bon Iver & Fleet Foxes, I can join the dots between this Leeds duo and Midlake. So on the day that the Texans release their new LP, no better time to put forward Tell Where I Lie for your consideration 😊
