GONJASUFI - SUFI & A KILLER

WOLF PEOPLE - STEEPLE

MIDLAKE - The Courage of Others

but a honorable mention must go to

SUN ARAW - On Patrol

Fieldfare replied on

Something along the lines of:

Field Music – Field Music (Measure)
Julian Lynch – Mare
Dark Dark Dark – Bright Bright Bright
Sharon van Etten – Epic
Forest Swords – Dagger Paths

The best of those is Sharon van Etten.  You need to get her at Green Man.  Also some honorable mentions to Soundcarriers, Caitlin Rose, Nina Nastasia, Laura Veirs and Voice of the Seven Thunders.

This may short-circuit the system but I'm going to have to replace Tame Impala with Deerhunter's 'Halcyon Digest'. It's fantastic. And they must be booked for next year's GM. Or trouble there will be...

 

GreenFairy replied on

You removed Tame Impala! :O !!

There may be trouble ahead...

I must agree with the Halcyon Digest addition though, along with John Grant's Queen of Denmark. The memory of driving my daughter school while we both sang along to 'chicken bones' will stay with me for a while! Social services have been informed...

Sympatico replied on

Ah the joys of driving daughter schools along the bracing Kent coast. Getting stuck behind a brother polytechnic is a bugger though.
