There’s something quite old-fashioned in the best possible way about this new track from Dan Amor. Taken from his recent Rainhill Trials album, it’s dark and grungy, but it’s also thoroughly melodic and done with a light touch. Amor writes some of his tracks in Welsh, but we love the poetry of his English lyrics: “Day is breaking like a tide on the sullen but the birds still gather at dusk…” We’re sure the Welsh ones are just as beautiful, we just, y’know, don’t speak Welsh. We’re delighted to be bringing you ‘Dusk Bird’ exclusively as today’s Song of the Day.
