quietly quietly does it ..

the moods change with the weather. suddenly my hiphop mixtapes dont sit well, i want to feel soothed. warm. and safe. so naturally i decide to get cosy with the new Bronze Age Fox compilation - a band who have decided to become a Proper Band, and release a proper album thats available in shops as opposed to going loopy via ebay. reviewed in the usual place. but for those who like to feel the darkness coming in then i believe that Gravenhurst is your natural destiny. this is a man (according to his blog) likes his horror films and having been advised of this passion Nicks way with the acoustic guitar and far away creaks and noises on the recent mini-lp make a lot more sense. released on Warp. of course. another non-electronica release on Warp (these are strange days we live in people) is the soundtrack to Dead Mans Shoes .. all sorts of excellent sounds and weirdness set against some truly lovely downtempo songs by Calexico, Smog, M Ward etc .. interesting stuff. onwards ! mark e ireallylovemusic
