24...Colin Clary - Sweater Weather Or Not, These Are The Songs I Got (2005)



This record's really grown on me over the years, until it's become a regular guest in my ears. Heartfelt, tender, lyrics wrapped beautifully in a nice hand-made gift box, full of sweet, sweet melodies. I guess you could say that I'm a little Smitten with this record... It's so contagious that you might have to see a doctor to get the songs out of your head. But of course, this isn't recommended and is strictly optional.

23...Little Joy - Little Joy (2008)



I haven't been able to stop listening to this record. Definately one of my albums of the year. It reminds me of Darren Hanlon if he were a part of a New Yorked, Portuguese religious revival troupe. Travelling the serene, sunsoaked countryside on a healthy diet of cuter Velvet Underground numbers...

  • favourite song - Brand New Start
