Winter Playlist...

November-


"Than these skies is no sky lovelier. The clouds are deep; into their grey the subtle spies of colour creep, changing their high austerity to delight, till ev'n the leaden interfolds are bright"- John Freeman- 'November Skies'





Here's few tracks to cosy up to infront of the fire place. Joel Harries is a young singer from Northampton, with a magical voice that dances over the top of alt-country plucking. He also plays in My First Tooth.
Samuel Kirk is one of the best live acts I've ever seen. Intelligent lyricism coupled with a delightful voice and a magical ukelele.
'Woody Brown River' is one of the Guillemots best songs yet, up there with 'Little Bear' & 'Redwings'. Truly beautiful music.
You may have heard Slow Moving Millie on the Televisual device, as it's her track 'Beast's that's been accompanying Virgin Media's recent ad campaign.
Canada's Ohbijou make melodic, layered indie-folk music, with 'We Lovers' being a slightly more downtempo track that just warms you deep inside.
'Beauty' by The Shivers is really the only word for it.
Whilst driving around France, the perfect soundtrack to the beautiful company and countryside was Lewis & Clarke. 'Petrified Forest' is not only a beautifully named track, but it's a phenomenal, natural creation from a truly exceptional band.
'Sector 5 Slums' is an instrumental from The Columbia is Lost's album St. Anthony's Fire. I cannot recommend this album enough! If you like this track, check out Joakim's 'Peter Pan Over the Bronx'
Spokes play with an intensity that is bewitching to watch, creating a sound "as natural to the band as breathing" (Drowned In Sound)
Weird Tapes are the best thing to happen to music this year. Fact.

Wednesday 25th November-
Lee Rosy's Tea Room, Hockley,
Nottingham




In association with the University of Nottingham's High Society, Unquiet Desperation Presents an evening of art, music & poetry.

The High Soc team have been kind of enough to ask us to help put on an evening of music, art & poetry this late November eve. High Soc have been behind many fantastic artists coming to Nottingham, including EPIC45, SAMSON & DELILAH & THE WAVE MACHINES & have consistently been an influential voice in the promotion of Nottingham's finest nights and gigs...



LINE & A DOT









Truly delightful music from the leafy suburbs of Northampton. Sarah “sings along” to her acoustic guitar “in different notes with different words”. A slightly simplistic self-summary of the songs of Line & A Dot. Considering the wealth of influences ranging from the writings of Seamus Heaney to Hunter S. Thompson. Whilst musically there’s touches of Elliot Smith and Jenny Lewis. Listen to the gorgeous, charming sounds of Line & A Dot here and become captivated by her sheer natural splendour…
