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.
There are some collaborations you just know are going to work, and this falls squarely into that category. Literally nothing could go wrong with Jesca Hoop and Willy Mason teaming up, and literally nothing does. It’s one of a number…
Regular FFS readers will already be familiar with Brighton quartet House of Hats, whose EP Rivers Will Run we loved back in 2012. Then we described their music as soft and soothing, and the same is definitely true here with…
