The Leaf Library is one of my favourite new bands, and I can't get enough of their music these days. Their guitarist and founder, Matt Ashton , used to play in another favourite of mine, Saloon . Even today, I get goosebumps when I hear the songs from Saloon's brilliant "(this is) what we call progress" or "if we met the future" , - really good songs. Saloon has also given life to two other very good bands: Adam "Arthur" Cresswell started the electro-pop duo Arthur and Martha , and Alison [...]

Part 4: 37-50. The next installment of late year list-o-rama brings us up to date with the first half of the Toad Festive Fifty. Slightly more, in fact, because I'm gearing up for a top ten, so I've cheated slightly on numbers here are there. For those of you who want to make your own lists, see this post for the rules, and get stuck in. The more who take part the better. One of the things that struck me with this part of the list is the inclusion [...]

Here's a bit of 73 pleasure that no-one with any vaguely folky inclinations should permit to pass them by. The Left Outsides were born in the fallout of the demise of brilliant London psych-folksters The 18th Day of May. Alison and Mark played viola and guitar respectively in that much-lamented band, and have since continued to play together, forming The Left Outsides fairly hot on the heels of the breakup. There are times when their music is a little glacial of pace for my liking, but they are capable of doing some really brilliant things at [...]
Drawn-out, droning acoustic laments that maintain the sound of an "acoustic My Bloody Valentine" while retaining none of the dynamics.
I've written about these guys before, and they made an appearance on the old podcast this week. They were a London psychedelic folk group whose brilliant self-titled debut album sounds uncannily like it could have been cut from the undiscovered sessions for Fairpost Convention's Liege & Lief masterpiece. Anyhow, they packed it all in about [...]
the left outsides clouds hill 2006 Paleo's diary : one song, each day ocarina (française version) J'aime cette chanson et cette chanson doit m'aimer un peu puisqu'elle me suit. Je me demande bien pourquoi. Je n'ai rien à lui offrir ni pâtée, ni croquettes comme à un chien ou un chat. Pourtant elle me suit. J'ai posé [...]
