The 2000 Kevin Coyne album Room Full of Fools is a unique take on folk blues. An underrated artist, who used unconventional narratives, dark humour and his unique vocals. Sadly Coyne died of lung fibrosis in 2002. One to check out if he is new to you.

The Paul & The Tall Trees album So Long is a soulful and romantic delight. Led by Staten Island based singer songwriter Paul Schalda, their 2nd LP, released on Big Crown records ticks all my boxes. Then We’ll Wave (So Long) is divine.

No.863 16/01/2019

The 2nd album by garage rock band Reigning Sound, Time Bomb High School released in 2002, has been likened to Exile on Main Street. Love the opener Stormy Weather and You’re Not as Pretty. Solid work from Greg Cartwright.

No.498 16/01/2018

The debut album Moon Safari by French electronic duo Air is 20 years old today. Includes the hits Sexy Boy and Kelly Watch the Stars. This album never fails to make me smile, the relaxed downtempo nature of the music puts me in happy place. What’s your go to chill out record?
