Some sophisticated and wonderful pop right here. Katy B feels like a grimier, scrappier version of A Guy Called Gerald’s “Essence” album. Meaning I love it with all my electro-anglophile heart.

Lindsey and I listened to this song today coming home from work on the bus, and the night slowed down so beautifully.
A New Aesthetics
9 May, 2011
Monday works so well in list form. When you’re laying in bed dreaming of the new, productive you and all the great things you’re going to do tomorrow, the hours fall into place so easily and the day is ordered into a schedule as enriching and rigid as Ben Franklin’s or Jay Gatsby’s. Then 10:15 comes around, and Sunday me didn’t even remember to turn on the alarm clock.
There is something about this guitar intro that is so rooted in 1994-1996. It’s a pretty easy line to make from Cake’s Jolene” to the Toadies’ “Tyler” to the Pixies’ “Where is my Mind?”. It’s like that start and stop clean guitar sound is 1994 altrock’s Boom Bap, the aural equivalent to a wine’s vintage where with one listen and you can feel the year in which it was grown.

This is a mix made by Arab Strap genius Aidan Moffat for Drownedinsound.com I, sadly, had not heard of Bill Wells before, but it is beautiful music and fantatsic listening while making breakfast.
