Song of the Day is back back BACK after a week hiatus. We hope you filled the week productively – but now there’s music to listen to. Chiefly, this: it’s ‘As Old As The Grave’, taken from Eaves’ debut EP…
#575 Eaves – As Old As The Grave
Author: Ali Mason
#574 Gruff Rhys – Lost Tribes
If Gruff Rhys has never quite enjoyed the mainstream success he seems to deserve, perhaps it’s because he writes songs about things like 18th century explorers who go off on quests to find Welsh tribes in America. That’s what this…
#573 Fiancé – Climb The Stairs
Fiancé are from Newark. Not the one in Nottinghamshire, or even the one in New Jersey – they’re from Newark, Delaware. If you haven’t heard of it, that’s because it’s a small town of around 30,000 people – but it…
#572 St Vincent – Rattlesnake
This won’t be new to you if you own or have heard a copy of St Vincent’s self-titled fourth album, but it is nonetheless the new single from Annie Clark. It’s the sort of track that makes you want to…

#569 The Magic Lantern – Harvest Moon
Sometimes we pick a song that’s a bit electronic or rocky. Sometimes we stray into avant garde territory or nostalgia. When it comes down to it though, it’s tough to beat an acoustic guitar, a beautiful melody and a soothing…
#568 Sean O’Neill – Carried In The Wind
With its prominent drums and brass, this track carries all the hallmarks of the sort of folk music that has at times penetrated the charts over the last few years. This is far from a Mumford & Sons rip-off though…
#567 Weyes Blood – Some Winters
It’s not everyday we share with you a track that was premiered on vogue.com, but then it’s not every day a track like this comes along. To call it a piano ballad wouldn’t do it justice – it’s warped and…
#566 Christopher Reilly – What I’ll Be
What I'll Be by Christopher Reilly Christopher Reilly is out of Blairstown, New Jersey – and we reckon there’s some of the energy of that state’s musical greats about this track. Reilly’s currently attending college studying for a double major…
