Dear Reader – Replace Why With Funny
Hailing from the not-so-musically-renowned South Africa, this three-piece band and their butter-wouldn’t-melt tunes are the perfect soundtrack to a lazy summers day. Emily Sergent reviews.
Various Artists – Dark Was The Night
It’s a 31 track compilation of exclusive songs to benefit AIDS and HIV awareness. It might also be the greatest grouping yet of TLOBF-friendly artists.
‘Dark Was The Night’ – free download, and full tracklist
Download a track from the new 4AD compilation. ‘Knotty Pine’ by The Dirty Projectors and David Byrne is available inside. Plus info on how you can hear the whole 32 tracks before it’s 16th February release.
