There are one or two Belle & Sebastian superfans at FFS Towers, so teaming up with Isobel Campbell is always going to be a good way to get attention from us. Another strong tactic is producing beautifully understated songs with swoon-worthy strings and an oddly timeless quality. Hitting two-for-two therefore is French songwriter Arno Sojo, whose new solo project Sweet Gum Tree makes quite an impact with this track, ‘Bird Of Passage’. Sweet Gum Tree’s debut album, The Snakes You Charm & The Wolves You Tame, is out in February.
