Shhh, keep it under your hat, but we’re a little bit fond of this ’un, maybe it’s the way it appears to breezily saunter nonchalantly under the radar and past your defences tipping a cheeky wink as it shimmies by, or maybe it’s the fact that blessed with a melodic recipe that marinates exotic flavourings cured in honeyed sun stroked afterglows and a blissfully kissed knowingness that has me reaching for the repeat play button. Mind you its exactly 4.30am in the morning, all is quiet and maybe just maybe its radiance and off kilter feel good laziness is just what I need to uplift the sombre stillness invading this ungodly houred silence. Of course I could impart to you the subtle David and Bacharach tingle it exudes or its almost softly effervescent clipped adrift and lilting seafaring homeliness. Whatever the reason we are smitten – you’ll probably feel the same after one single earshot. Incidentally its by Tim Burgess – you may remember him as the front man of The Charlatans, there was a nifty single reviewed here somewhere last year by him, he has a book out at present entitled ’Making Stories’ which we really must grab, this by the way is ’White’ – its peeled from a forthcoming full length ’Oh No I Love You’.
