I'm still growing into my tongue..

Really gorgeous record out this week from King Creosote & Jon Hopkins; The album has been recorded over a number of years, whenever the pairs schedules allowed. Described by KC as:

A soundtrack to a romanticised version of a life lived in a scottish coastal village..

The record weaves in slices of Fife life, bike wheels, spring tides, tea cups and café chatter to produce a beautiful, unique and timeless album. Get 'Diamond Mine' here.

Noble Savage

It seems a little churlish to be concerned with the matter of music given recent events, but then needs must.
Awesome new EP to tell you about from Maria Minerva; 'Noble Savage' is available now on the excellent 100% Silk label. it's been a while since we featured such feverish hyperbole:

'If Blondie was weirder, if Giorgio Moroder traded pasta marinara for boiled potatoes, if Madonna’s post-rave bedtime stories actually went deeper and deeper, you’d have Ms. Minerva. But would she have you?'

Maria Minervia- Disko Bliss
