Playlist 377 - Nov 10 2015
A string of great guitar music in the first half of the show this wk. Field Music , storming prog pop with horns from the Brewis brothers. The Phoenix Foundation , a twitchier, funkier variety. The Chills , bringing a radiant glow to guitar pop. Richard Lloyd , an unreleased power pop gem from the great ORK Records comp. Change of tack in second half to take in showtunes from - Julia Holter (well, that's my take on them anyway, in her case a mutated rarefied strain) The genius of Leonard Bernstein & Stephen Sondheim from the s'track of West Side Story Alela Diane & Ryan Francesconi , not so much showtunes but sublime pastoral sounds Eska , Mercury Prize nominated in the UK, beautiful shifting soul music. And Serge Gainsbourg , creating his own kind of magpie soul in 1964. More on the blog.
