I do not know what is happening but I am just noticing that the records I have been enjoying those past weeks are from bands I was already listening to in my teens. After The Wedding Present last week, here come The Occasional Keepers. My biggest record collection thrill was when the Sarah Records was created in the late 80s. They were issuing lovely crafted and highly desirable 7”. Very far away from the music consumerism of the time you could feel the heart and passion of all the bands involved. I was hooked and was impatiently looking forward to every new release coming out. From this scene came some amazing artists like The Wake or The Fieldmice. The Occasional Keepers are actually members of both these bands and they just issued this romantic and melancholic new album to follow their first effort issued in 2005. One track is particularly and absolutely gorgeous and vital and will surely be on top of my favourite tracks of 2008 by the end of the year: Town Of 85 Lights. Beautiful music for our ears.
