This track is gorgeous! It drops right in the middle of waking up on New Year’s Day, next to someone that you’ve known for a long time, but it’s like you know the relationship is over because of the body language. At the same time the songwriter is saying that they are memorising everything so …
Kim Ralls is an artist I’ve kept in touch with since the more simpler times of X and is a folk singer who keeps himself busy on the gig circuit, this is obvious from the cover of his new single Beating Drums. This is folk with a distinctly Celtic flavour. This song is about the …
Freya Beer dropped a new single that’s epic in story and epic in music. It references James Dean and driving fast – this could be applied in so many different ways, it could be a friend or a relative that’s taken a path that could destroy them, and Freya’s observing this from the passenger seat, …
Graham Graham Beck has dropped a new album and this is one of the tracks from it. It even comes with a video, and as is Graham’s trademark both the song and video are packed full of quirks. This song is an ode to what is known to be the world’s oldest joke shop in …
A jazz instrumental to kick off a dreary Monday morning, this is a track by a quartet from a multinational quartet, this is melodic, combining drums, bass, guitar and piano, it reminds me a little bit of Bob James. The into starts off with a piano playing a deceptively simple melody before being joined on …

In honour of Chris Lowe’s birthday I thought I’d pull this one out of the vault. This is a song from the Pet Shop Boys’ album Behaviour released in 1990 and as a single in its own right in 1991. For those who know me well you will know that I am a pet shop …
Track Of The Day – “Early Jive” @killamausThis track takes the biscuit for the most bizarre track I’ve heard this year. And I’ve heard a LOT of bizarre tracks. But that’s okay because I like bizarre. It starts off with bleeps and boops, there are snippets of audio like birds chirping, a saxophone, piano and handclaps, …
I was so happy when this made the Listening Post and faves! It was one of those songs that takes you back in time – the first clue is the cassette player opening up, before going into a song that’s got the Roland D-50 bells that were so popular back in 1987-89. It’s scary to …
This week marks 50 years since Stevie Wonder released this phenomenal album. It is a collection of songs that cover social justice, celebrating musical legends, parenthood and just a need to set the dancefloor alight. This song falls into the latter category, it’s got an infectious singalong chorus, percussion going wild, the whole band absolutely …
