It’s bouncing down. It’s blowing a gale. This is the perfect soundtrack. Taken the lazy option and left the vinyl on the shelf. Qobuz stream.

The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds - ‘80s vinyl
Some of their greatest songs, complex and beautiful production, and celestial harmonies. One of my favourite albums.

Paul Weller’s covers album, Studio 150. Frankly, I think it’s better than almost all of his stuff since Stanley Road.

Prompted by a post yesterday by @TheKevster, I was reminded that I’d not listened to any Goldfrapp albums lately.

Putting that right today with the album that started it for me after hearing Utopia playing in my local record shop.

Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain
