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.

#208 Honeyblood – Bud

What they lack in numbers, Honeyblood make up for in depth and atmosphere. Glasgow pair Stina Tweeddale and Shona McViccar combine to make songs that cross somewhere in between Jenny Lewis and PJ Harvey, melodic and charming but full of…
