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.

#198 Atlanter – Tree Song

There’s a glorious swell of influences which goes into making Norwegian four-piece Atlanter sound somehow unlike other bands. Tune in your ear and you might pick out some psychadelia here, some spaghetti western guitar there, maybe a touch of classic…

#197 The Coal Town Rounders – Foggy Mountain Top

Sounding like they’re from deepest darkest Appalachia but actually hailing from the rough-hewn industry of Pennsylvania’s ‘Electric City’ Scranton come the Coal Town Rounders. And yes, while Scranton was founded first on its coal mining, this music will have you…

#196 Wilsen – Oblivion (Grimes Cover)

Featuring on the B Side of her most recent single “Dusk”, Wilsen has unveiled an absolutely stunning cover of Grimes’ “Oblivion” from the album “Visions”. With a guitar, a little drum and a very beautiful voice, her compilation of arrangements…

#195 Dutch Uncles – Nometo

These are exciting times for Dutch Uncles. Perhaps most exciting is the prospect of a set of expanded shows with a string ensemble in November and December (check out the band’s website for full details). Before that, this weekend in…

#194 Johnny Cash – Hurt

It needs no introduction, and is far too obvious a song with which to mark the 10th anniversary of Johnny Cash’s death this week, but his cover of ‘Hurt’ never gets old. And, while the song itself documents his failing…

#193 Noah & the Whale – Five Years Time

How could we choose anything other than Noah & the Whale’s ‘5 Years Time’ as our song of the day on this our fifth birthday? It’s a brilliant song with a brilliant video, and Noah & the Whale were one…

#192 Kiran Leonard – Port-Ainé

You might have heard of the quite ridiculously talented teenager Kiran Leonard before thanks to his previous track, the enjoyably spiky ‘Dear Lincoln‘. Well, this is nothing like that. ‘Port-Ainé’ is a delightful, meandering tune with more than a touch of Andrew Bird…

#191 Arcade Fire – Reflektor

Yes, we know you’ve probably heard it already. And no, it might not be folk music in the way you think of folk music. But if this isn’t the song of the day, what is? Arcade Fire are back. Give…

#190 Laura Groves – Pale Shadows

You will find some of the world’s biggest Blue Roses fans at FFS, so there is more than a little excitement about new music from Laura Groves. Groves has had a rebranding, dropping her floral moniker, so it’s no surprise…

#189 Still Parade – Health

We wouldn’t normally bring you two tracks by the same artist in such quick succession, but we’re more than a little bit intrigued by Still Parade. We’ve still got nothing much to tell you about them, other than the fact…
