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.

#88 Still Parade – Actors

Today’s song of the day is ‘Actors’ by Still Parade, a sort of electronic, countrified Bon Iver. Being a new band, this is the bit where we’d normally fill in a few details and give you some background information. Unfortunately,…

#87 Farao – Skin

We don’t know what it is with Norwegian artists at the moment, but they’re just knocking it out of the park. We fell in love with this particular Scandi beauty, Farao, at The Great Escape this year where she was…

#86 Peter Bruntnell ft. Rumer – Played Out

Peter Bruntnell’s career, which features nine studio albums to date, is to be treated to a retrospective next month and to give us a tease he’s put out a reworked version of 2004 track ‘Played Out’, with a helping hand…

#85 Sparrow & the Workshop – The Faster You Spin

Another brilliant pop song from Sparrow & the Workshop, ‘The Faster You Spin’ is taken from their new album Murderopolis and showcases front woman Jill O’Sullivan’s brilliant tonal range from the sweetly whispered intro to the ferocious chorus. While this is a…

Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo continue to go from strength to strength, as ‘Dear River’, the title track off their latest full-length release which is due out on July 8, proves admirably. Inspired by the Blackwood river near…

#83 Keston Cobblers’ Club – Beam

We pretty much love Keston Cobblers’ Club. Their music is utterly infectious. If you don’t actually get up and dance, you’ll at least be tapping away. Stop reading this and just press play.

#82 Bob Dylan – Subterranean Homesick Blues

Happy Birthday Bob! And what better way to celebrate your 72nd birthday than with a reminder of what you used to look like nearly 50 years ago? The famous clip that accompanies Subterranean Homesick Blues – which was filmed in…

#81 Beck Lanehart – Last Man Down

If anybody’s been watching Nashville (which is mainly worth sticking with for the music – or at least most of the music) then Beck Lanehart’s ‘Last Man Down’ is exactly the kind of thing you might expect one of the…

#80 She & Him – I Could’ve Been Your Girl

Not that you should need any extra incentive to take in anything and everything that She & Him do, but their latest video is perhaps most notable for being Zooey Deschanel’s directorial debut. She told her HelloGiggles website: “After seven…

#79 Ane Brun – This Voice 2013

Ane Brun will next week release her career retrospective Songs 2003-2013 and is marking the occasion with a re-recording of ‘This Voice’, which originally appeared on her 2005 record A Temporary Dive. The once gentle song has been reimagined as…
