Last week, Owen Pallett played a concert in London's Union Chapel, with the following super special guest: Sam Amidon, Nico Muhly, and Beth Orton. It was super special. They played a new song by Beth Orton, which sounds as fine and affecting as wind in your hair - this song is the one above. They also played one of my favourite folk songs ever, ' Sugar Baby ' - preceded by an odd rendition of a German folk song. This stuff is all as good as it sounds, and clearly, it sounds very good.
