Something for the Midweek #1

A day of no work has meant catching up on some tunes. I couldn't wait for the weekend so here you go. Apparently Thursday has been the new Friday for a while, so lets keep it ultra-fresh and make a Wednesday mix...

Indie folk rappers and a favourite band of mine from the past ten years, Why? are about to release their forth album of folk, rap and psychedelia called Mumps, etc., The album follows the 'Hey Ya!' shagging Sod in the Seed EP released back in July. The album can be streamed by clicking on the creepy album picture below...

And as if like magic, fresh from my guilty pleasures of the nineties list from a few weeks ago ULTRASOUND RELEASE A NEW ALBUM thirteen years after their debut Everything Picture. If a short article on VO is all it takes to get a defunct 90s band back in the studio together, imagine of the possibilities?
Anyhow... I think its really rather good to boot. A lot more direct and about twice as short as its predecessor. I won't go into details (too lazy), but a review HERE is a nice reminder of the necessary career paths bands that don't become Coldplay must take. Its good to have them back. Again a click on the (better) image below will give you access to that album...

And finally a bit of Gulp! A lush bit of pop from one part Super Furry Animal Guto Pryce & Welsh songstress Lindsey Leven. Seeing as SFA are out of the picture I am looking forward to hearing a bit more of this... And to think it's only two days to the weekend...
