All is fairly quiet in terms of new music at the moment. New releases tend to dry up around this time before it all goes absolutely demented in late September/early October.
But, this week's 'Single of the Week' and a single that you absolutely have to buy if you have somehow avoided this band is Fleet Foxes' 'White Winter Hymnal'. The best track on their debut album, this is a harmony filled, strange, twisted nursery rhyme that will be floating around your head for weeks after hearing. Its an incredibly vivid lyric and you will doubtless have your own little video for the song playing in your head while you listen. Or maybe that is just TracksandGigs. Anyway, buy it. The 'b side' is a non album track 'Isles' which is a lovely, hushed folk song. Absolutely, no excuse for not buying this single, out now on 7" on Bella Union or on iTunes if you must.
Lastly, just to say that I am incredibly jealous of anyone who saw Tindersticks at Latitude. They played 'Walking'....
