Now Playing…
Streaming on Qobuz (48/24)… kicking off this Tuesday morning with Taylor covering 31 tracks… Taylor is sounding mighty sweet and this helps me keep up with my Granddaughter’s favorite artist. Life is Sweet!
More play for this rather beautiful PSB album. A very different mood and production to their last, Hotspot, which was pretty mediocre, and vaguely embarrassing, their Berlin album. Mmmm. . . no.
This tilts its hat to the wonders of Very and Behaviour, without feeling formulaic.
Melodies and melancholy, with a few upbeat songs sprinkled in the mix.
James Ford’s production is sublime.
