Kathryn Williams and Withered Hand - Weekend A couple of weeks ago I was looking forward to the release of Kathryn Williams and Withered Hand’s collaboration album Willson Williams. And it was worth the wait. To listen to these two sublime voices blending beautifully together, you’d think they’d been making music together for decades rather than recording as a duo for the first time.

Frankie's Rediscovery: Paulo Nutini- Radio
Ok I'm obsessed again, or should I say RE obsessed?! April has been a cruel mistress writing wise which means my lyric writing and poetry has dwindled somewhat, however do not fear I'm working on something so normal service will resume again soon. In the mean time are you ready for me to introduce you to an awesome tune again?....of course you are! This time in the form of Radio by Paulo Nutini

Playlist: Border crossings
Bubamara – Sheikhs of Mallow I got a happy update this morning, with news that Bubamara has a new album coming out soon. If you’re not familiar, this is the exotic sound of Darlington via the Med. It’s a border-bashing brew of folk traditions from Italy, the Balkans and beyond, and well worth a few minutes of your time. If you’re a fan of the likes of The Ukrainians, Gogol Bordello or even Goran Bregovic, you’ll probably find something to enjoy.

The Girl with the Replaceable Head – Shangri La Yeah, I’m an 80s kid. That comes with certain conditions. In particular, there’s a twang of a guitar that jets me back to my carefree, younger days when life was simple and the Cocteau Twins catered for most of my musical needs. Which brings us neatly to The Girl with the Replaceable Head. Not just a great name for a band, this lot also have a neat line in jangly, shoe-gazey indie that would surely have bagged a deal with 4AD in about 1990.
