Mathew Borrett

While looking for older music in my archives I came across a handful of drawings that Mathew had sent me a few years back to use for Love, Anna propaganda. Some of these date back to 2002. Find his site here. Read an interview with Borrett here and here.

À l'écoute

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Some Loud Thunder (self-released)
This is the second album from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Produced by Dave Friedmann, it's much more dynamic, grand and almost mysterious. Songs like Love Song No. 7 and Five Easy Pieces are simply works of modern mastery.

Tindersticks, Tindersticks (This Way Up)
Two records in a row were self-titled for this Brit/alt/folk/romantics/even-sometimes-rockers. This is the second one, released in 1994. Cindy and I saw them play in Toronto a few months back and so I dug out her old collection. If you don't know this outfit, this is a safe starting point. Although, most everything they've released is super in it's own right.
