JAMES VINCENT MCMORROW - Higher Love and Wicked Game

I love the 80s, and pretty much andything that ever makes me think of the 80s. Remarkably, James Vincent McMorrow's cover takes Steve Winwood's big huge band-tancular song and makes it shine even brighter with a gentle and synth-less call for connection.




oh and there's this...

THE HALF EARTH :: Borders

Staying with the softly stunning sounds that seem to be what my bones, shattered or not, need, The Half Earth is really working for me.

The (unfortunately) English singer's debut EP 'Light Breaks In' (lyric from the gorgeous 'Borders', listen below) is released today. Get it on Amazon for nothing more than chump change.

HOPIUM :: Cut and Run For Your Life, Dreamers

Following the love trail from Dustin Tebbutt lead me to the dark and twisted otherside of love in Hopium. Y'know that feeling that everything is beautiful and smooth, but the sinking sensation that you're just really high on endorphins and other chemicals that just won't last... The Melbourne-based band/production trio is making me a little excited to return to the gretty grey of that city, but I know the citysads will be there to greet me.. From "Dreamers": You said this would be your year / But you fucked around, now December’s here...
