Oct 26, 2006 - Jim Noir & Dean & Britta

So, it took me more than a week to get to this, but it's worth it. Two lovely, lovely suggestions for your listening pleasure.

Dean & Britta - Words You Used To Say (EP) (Zoe Records)

Former members of the band Luna (and Dean formerly formerly of Galaxie 500), create some very comfortable, sub-cutaneous sound. His not too deep, not too rumbley voice instantly fits in your head; hers layers it like silk scarf, delicate, but worn, torn and loved. If you've liked Ballad of the Broken Seas from Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan, you need to listen to this. It's a nice night flight.

Jim Noir - Tower of Love (Barsuk Records)

I became totally won over by this artist, simply by listening to his music via his website. So incredible sweet and captivating. All the essences of 60s pops harmony and cords, and a beautifully innocent feeling, touched with nice little electronic frills. Whether a soft love pean, or a plea to keep away from his football (soccer ball), or to keep off his 'patch' (of turf, I imagine). Give in. Give in.

More soon.
