Music for politicians (spot the odd one out)
I think if I was in a band and David Cameron said he liked my band’s music, I’d have a long hard look at my band’s music.
New Order – Lost Sirens (Rhino)
New Order have split up? Uh-huh. I don’t think so.
Yo La Tengo – Fade (Matador)
Fade pulses and hums with the rhythms of nature, sounds swell and grow, advance and recede, throughout each song. YLT may be the most nurturing band I’ve ever heard. They love and caress every note in a way that makes this album in particular sound incredibly human. It makes me want to be a better person. It makes me want to love more deeply.
