In exactly a month, October 1st, Beth Orton will release her new album, "Sugaring Season", after six years of hiatus. She is one of my all-time favourite artists, so here's a little homage (a personal selection, many b-sides) to her beautiful music, and a nice warm-up to start the countdown till the record arrive. If you didn't know her yet, please take a listen!
Next chapter of the Anthology, with a fantastic band from Scotland, one of the most "prestigious" world indie "factories" (I know, still have pending the blog's tribute to the country), who, among their line-up, included a very special singer for me. Hope you like it!
Song: Coming In From the Cold
Artist: The Delgados
Year: 2002
It took me a while, honestly. At the beginning of 2000 I was introducing myself into Belle & Sebastian, so the Motherwell band was quickly overlooked (never got into "The Great Eastern"). But a couple of years after, "Coming In From the Cold" appeared. Yeah, let's admit that's when I really discovered Emma Pollock's voice, in my opinion an unbelievably underrated singer. Her, and of course the spectacular hook of the tune, anthem-calibre, breathtaking indiepop. Some more great songs followed(although their albums as a whole have never reached yet) always with Emma taking leading vocals or in her solo career. What a superb, affecting singer, at least for me, she is.
