Track Of The Day #594: Goodnight Lenin – You were Always Waiting

960x3406

Static Caravan have excelled themselves with this forthcoming beauty from Goodnight Lenin, what you are hearing now (and watching or at least you should be) is the lead out single from the bands forthcoming debut full length ‘In the Fullness of Time’ – this softly murmured slice of cool smoulder pop entitled ‘You were Always Waiting’.

In short the best thing we’ve heard of this ilk – and by this ilk we mean rolled gold 70’s vintage – since that quite dumfounding Black Ink track ‘Tangerine’ from this time last year except while the latter appeared acutely patched into a Jeff Lynne radar. Goodnight Lenin seem more at home lolling around in the softly basking company of Crosby Stills Nash and Young given that this honey sounds for all the world as though it’s been time tunnelled straight out of a classic early 70s Americana seduced West Coast – all at once hazily lazy and brimming in breezy sunburns and blessed with an alluring faraway glazing oozing uber cooled MOR motifs.
