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.

#510 Flagship – Gold and Silver

We don’t want Edward Sharpe to ever grow up, but if he did, perhaps this is what the Magnetic Zeroes might sound like. North Carolina’s Flagship are offering their new track ‘Gold and Silver’ as a free download as they…

#509 Paul Spring – Conversation of Mass

Conversation of Mass – Paul Spring from Paul Spring on Vimeo. ‘Conversation of Mass’ is taking from State of the Union, the 2013 album by Minnesota musician Paul Spring. Over the winter, which lasts a while in Minnesota, he chose…

#502 Hannah Peel – Invisible City

We love Hannah Peel and we’d happily listen to her play any song on her music box. That this one, ‘Invisible City’, happens to be a bit of a cracker, really helps. It’s an unreleased track – performed here in…

#501 Bear’s Den – Elysium
