No nonsense Americana is my choice of the week. Two great slabs of vinyl. Both lovingly packaged, made with love, far from the impersonal digital releases (well, 2009 oblige they are also available for download) and both with a very particular theme.
The former, Port O’Brien, that I have been following since day one, have decided to issue a 7” for each season of this year. So logically, here comes the first instalment subtitled winter but the actual A-Side is a rework of ‘The Whiskey Song’ while the beauty of this record is hidden on the B-side, new track ‘Is This Really What Its Come To?’.
The latter have already issued two albums over the past two years but this year might finally see the public ripe for their beauty and success. Pure Americana in the vein of Bon Iver. The theme of this very single is their own celebration to the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin whom incidentally I have also started to develop a fascination for lately. Please buy them on vinyl. The 500 Ltd. edition Port O’Brien single is available through their website or Piccadilly Records and the Low Anthem here.
