It's a wonderful life



Disregard the odd name of the band and focus on what will be pleasing your ears. What genre is this? What does it matter? But if you must, this is like a mix of indie pop/rock. This album features beautiful melodies to wake up to on a lazy Sunday morning. Leave it to play overnight before you go to bed on Saturday night, taking care to keep the volume comfortably low but still audible. When you wake the next morning, you can almost smell the daffodils as if you fell asleep in the fields of Amsterdam. My favourite tracks are: Little fat babies, Piano fire.

I hate clowns (remnants of trauma from Stephen King's "It"). The cover freaks me out but I love this album as much as the other one, even slightly better I suspect. This gives a locked in an airy attic/basement feel: the lights are out, you had a couple of beers, you can barely feel the cushions beneath your back, and everything will float. Lovely.
