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…
#572 St Vincent – Rattlesnake
Category: Song of the Day
A song a day, every day. From brand new tunes to elderly classics. We don’t promise to be constrained by genre, but we promise to recommend brilliant music.
#571 Laura Moody – Turn Away
We love a Laura here at FFS (see Marling, Groves, J Martin and countless others) so we’re delighted to add another to the list: Laura Moody. We’re also fans of nominative determinism, so we’re pretty pleased that Moody’s music is…
#570 Mutual Benefit – Auburn Epitaphs
Mutual Benefit’s Jordan Lee came across David Dean Bukhart when he made a fan video for a track from their Love’s Crushing Diamond album. He was so taken with it, he asked Bukhart to come on board in an official…

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…
#565 Whyte Horses – The Snowfalls
http://youtu.be/1l5LSNijRUc This is the debut effort from Manchester band Whyte Horses. While the video highlights the song’s woozy psychedelic streak, it’s some of the purest, loveliest dream pop we’ve heard in ages. The single is out next month and there’s…
#564 Lewis & Leigh – What is There to Do?
Lewis & Leigh is Al Lewis (of Al Lewis & Sarah Howells and solo fame) and Mississipi’s Alva Leigh. The pair bonded over their love of Gram & Emmylou and Jackson Browne and will be releasing an EP called Night Drives.…
#563 Dubarrys – Undress Your Soul
Brighton four-piece, the Dubarrys, have a mysterious silent member who doesn’t want to be involved in any publicity which makes FFS desperate to know everything about him. Undress Your Soul is the title track from their debut EP. Why don’t…
