Music Diary #33 – 8th February 2012 & Aural Delights Radio Show

Mostly listening to new albums over the last few days…..

1. Lot of noise being made in some quarters about the  Django Django album – was not that impressed, reminded me of dodgy West Coast stuff from the 1960s.
2. The “Suburban Sunshine” album by Et Tu Brucé is interesting. It is released on 27th February. The quirky, quaint Englishness of it is quite appealing – although I am not completely sold on it as yet. Probably will require several listens to understand what it is all about.
3. The Valery Trails purports to be akin to The Go-Betweens – not quite, but their album”Ghosts and Gravity” is good enough to stand on its own without reference to other stuff.
