Fat Cat: Fat Cat 1
Ames Room
Silje Nes
Silje's sound recalls Stina Nordenstam's quiet works, up-close vocals homespun but poetic words and hushed, lackadaisical intrumentals.
Seminal Paws
Our Brother the Native
Is this a male CocoRosie you hear before you? Lots to this track.
Falling Down
David Karsten Daniels
Stripped back songwriting with space-like atmospherics. Nice lyrics.
Stonewall, Stone Fence
Gregory and the Hawk
A great set of lyrics with the heartfelt voice and arrangements to back them up. Deceptively intricate backing sounds as the track progresses and great drums.
Rode Null
Hauschka
Clamping wedges of leather, felt or rubber between the strings; preparing the hammers with aluminium paper or rough films; placing crown corks on the strings, weaving guitar strings around the piano's guts, or pasting them down with tape: the result!
The Tartu Piano
Max Richter
From the more classical end of the compositional spectrum than Haushcka's work from the same compilation, Richter's mournful score is powerful for its simplicity, like the best film music.
And She Would Darken The Memory
The Twilight Sad
We're not pretending this is a new release... but it's one of the classic tunes in the year of its release - from Fourteen Autumns, Fifteen Winters (The Skinny's album of 2007). Enjoy.
Houses
Vetiver
A classic country tinged record from Vetiver, with nice white album rhythm guitar bits leading the charge on retro references.
