An Autumn Mix

Summer's gone again. This is a collection of songs that have kept me singing through the summer, and songs that welcome in some cooler months.

The Phenomenal Handclap Band - 15 To 20



I heard this song this morning, and I've been singing it all day.

The Tiny - Last Weekend



I've been hugely in love with this band since playing with them at Hoxton Bar & Kitchen .. 3 years ago. Their previous work is amazing, and this track continues to highlight the strength of the songwriting and the wonder of Ellekari's voice.

The Presets - If I Know You



Such an incredible video for a killer song. Start to finish - genius.

Jose Vanders - Faces Going Places



I've known Jose for ages, and saw her play this week for the first time. She has an amazing voice, and a set of beautifully written songs.

Wave Machines - I Go I Go I Go



I played with this band YEARS ago and since then they've recorded an amazing album, produced this - one of the catchiest singles I've heard in years - and made a great video for it. Fantastic band.

Richard Peter Snapes & The Lie Awakes - I've Made Up Stories



Really, really cute video. Reminds me of early Fanfarlo videos [see earlier blogs] and had a great ending.
