![]() | Things We Lost in the Fire by Low
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £5.07 Low's best effort to date, believe it or not their most up tempo album before The Great Destroyer. Strangely good in the summer........
|
![]() | Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Buy new: £4.59 / Used from: £3.63 The man that made sadness an artform, so beautiful it's hard not to smile whilst listening. Why did they change the cover??
|
![]() | Sea Change by Beck
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.44 Lonesome Tears indeed, may be a bit of a shock to fans of the man's other incarnations, Mutations excepted. Been dumped? This one's for you.

![]() | Ease Down the Road by Bonnie Prince Billy
Buy new: £6.20 / Used from: £5.59 A dark country heart wrapped in a suprising warmth, listen for the twisted lyrics!
|
![]() | Either/Or by Elliott Smith
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.00 One of the many triumphs of Mr Smith, not as lo-fi as some and easier on the ear as a result. A shame he can't provide us with more moments like these.

![]() | Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.99 I came to this via the more upbeat Soul Journey which like all this artist's work is excellent, gillian sounds like someone fron the 1920's with better recording gear.

![]() | Spirit of Eden: Remastered by Talk Talk
Buy new: £4.05 / Used from: £4.07 One of a pair of magical albums made with care you can hear. Rare and astounding. Check out Laughing Stock too.
|
![]() | Cast of Thousands by Elbow
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £8.49 Often dismissed as indie nonsense, I think they achieved what their previous output suggested they were capable of. Emotion was felt.
|
![]() | Levitate by Idaho
Buy new: £6.23 / Used from: £7.22 This proves the guitar's possibilities haven't been exhausted, chiming and melodic. Check out Hearts of Palm too.
|
![]() | The Creek Drank the Cradle by Iron & Wine
Buy new: £8.99 / Used from: £5.64 Seemingly recorded on a dictaphone but still oozes character. A man, an acoustic, possibly a bottle and eventually an album.
|
![]() | The Golden Band by American Analog Set
A gentle breeze of melody glides over listeners, anger is not an option. For a more upbeat version try Know By Heart.
|
![]() | Superwolf [Us Import] by Bonnie Prince Billy and Matt Sweeney
Buy new: £5.87 / Used from: £5.89 There is something creepy about this, as with all of will oldham's stuff there is a dark sexual edge to it. Nice because it's Matt Sweeney doing the music for a change, atmospheric.
|
![]() | No Earthly Man by Alasdair Roberts
Buy new: £11.99 / Used from: £6.53 Hard going, done in a thick Scottish style which may not be to everyone's taste but a world away from the norm, which can't be bad.
