Friday tunes | Issue 13

Access to new music’s been limited this week, so this one’s relatively short.

The Bees – (This Is For The) Better Days They’re getting quite a lot of my play-time at the moment. This is another great funk track. The album’s very varied, with sufficient Hammond to make it an excellent Friday choice and also including some good country and Lily Allen / Coral style brass-pop.

Angus & Julia Stone – Down the Way Definitely album of the week (thanks DB). I got stuck on “Yellow Brick Road”. Beautiful track.

And on a live music front, Ali Shaheed Muhammad of A Tribe Called Quest fame is playing at Plan B in Brixton tonight. Should be a good gig, tickets are £12 tops for late-comers.

So hard to pick an album of theirs to start on … hope you like this
