Two Nice Songs
Again, apologies for not posting. Again, I don’t how I couldn’t find a little time for the blog. Anyway here are two nice, softer songs which I have been listening to recently.
I just bought the album from the mercury-nominated singer, and I am deeply impressed. She has been contributing to hosts of other bands (Noah and the Whale, Mystery Jets and The Rakes to name a few) and by herself she has her own unique style and a really fantastic voice. She could have my favourite female voice, but we will have to see once I have finished the album. Soft sliding guitars, mix with her friendly, wonderfully placed lyrics and well inserted piano, violin and male vocal sections.
My favourite track on their album, which I had only just managed to get a hold of. You can hear Laura’s influence here, with cheerful singing between verses. The main guitar riff is incredibly catchy, with an infectious beat and dabs of xylophone. The lyrics in this song are magnificent and are well thought out; “I’m not trying to write a love song, just a sad, pathetic moan, and maybe I just need change, maybe I just need a new cologne”. The whole song has this wit and is really fun to sing along to.
Also I just got LittleBigPlanet and it is pretty cool…
