In what we hope will become a regular feature on the Velvet Owl blog, our friend and fellow Green Man Festival quiz team member, Cedric Besnard, leads us through a selection of songs that are currently rocking the Parisian suburbs.
Pains of Being Pure at Heart : Heart In Your Heartbreak: An ideal song to herald the beginning of spring. With influences ranging from Ride to Field Mice, PoBPaH are here to bridge the gap between generations.
Lykke Li : I Follow Rivers: More spring-tastic tuneage!
Papercuts : Do What You Will: Addictive and haunting.
Bill Callahan : Baby's breath: The boss is back! Less sophisticated than anything off his previous album, but still beautiful!
Summer Camp : Was it Worth it?: One of my highlights from last year. This song is the perfect croosover betweens the 80's and the 00's. I can't wait for the album.
The Cavalcade : For You: Another highlight from last year, from an album full of gorgeous songs.
Jens Lekman : And I Remembered Every Kiss: Another swedish entry amongst my current selection. Try to imagine a mix between Scott Walker, The Avalanches and Divine Comedy. Try indeed!
My Morning Jacket : One Big Holyday: Before the new album arrives, check out this huge song from one of the few bands around who are able to marry experimental and popular rock music.
Race Horses : Cake: Nearly one year after this release, I still don't understand why this song has not been a big hit.
Felt: Vasco de Gama: A perfect pop song by one of the best kept secrets of English music.
