Out This Week

It may have been another long weekend but the world of pop has beavered on to deliver the following releases to a shop near you. So was it worth their while or should they have been rain bathing with the rest of us...

Findlay Brown 'Losing The Will To Survive' (Peacefrog/Agenda)
Findlay Brown certainly owes quite a debt to the likes of Paul Simon and Crosby, Stills & Nash. But it's easy to forgive such aping when the results are as magical as this. Packed with angelic sixties harmonies, and gently trippy, bell-like guitars, this track from Brown's 'Separated By Sea' album, is full-bodied, warm and lonesome. This twinkling slice of melancholia is quite lovely and not to be pigeonholed into the new folk bracket.
