Have You Heard? – (69) “Saint Saviour” by Astrid Williamson
I heard this song, this incredibly beautiful song, for the first time on Don Letts’ show on BBC 6 Music last Sunday night. I was immediately taken. I downloaded the album “We go to Dream”, which is excellent too, but … Continue reading
Have you heard? – (68) “Every Open Eye” by Chvrches
I’d really been looking forward to the new Chvrches albums. Readers of this blog will know I loved the first album, “The Bones of What You Believe” – it was was my top album of 2013. Quite a long time … Continue reading

Have you heard? – (67) Gengahr and This Is the kit
Over the summer, especially since Latitude in mid-July, the two albums I’ve been listening to most are “A Dream Outside” by Gengahr and “Bashed Out” by This Is the Kit. I’d heard both albums before Latitude and already liked them … Continue reading
Have You Heard? – (66) MonoTony and Sauna Youth with “Human Troll” and “Transmitters”

Have You Heard? – (64) Three Kinds of Beautiful: new albums by The Unthanks, Laura Marling and The Staves
Three of the albums I’ve been listening to a lot recently are all beautiful sounds that have their roots in folk music. But the artists have evolved, taking different directions, but still capturing the soulful essence of our traditional music. … Continue reading
Have You Heard? – (62) Two electronic gems, by Redlight and Beat Spacek
Two great electronic tracks I’ve heard recently on the ever-brilliant BBC Radio 6 Music. Redlight I know nothing about. Just heard “Gold Teeth” on Tom Ravenscroft last Friday and thought, I must have this. Robotic electro describes it. Beat Spacek, … Continue reading
Have You Heard? – (61) Three songs that mention Rabbits
By a strange coincidence, three of the songs I’ve been listening to a lot recently mention our furry, big-eared friends in their titles. I’m glad to say none of the songs in question are the notorious Chas’ n’ Dave ditty … Continue reading

Have You Heard? – (60) pinkshinyultrablast
I’m sure for the vast majority of readers the answer will be no! It would have been for me a week ago. I was listening to BBC Radio 6 Music late one night as I made myself some lunch for … Continue reading
