The Word Cricket Made Her Happy

by Ben McElroy

supported by

Lost Tribe Sound I'm guilty of sometimes scanning an album and at quick glance not getting it. Must have been the case with this absolutely brilliant album from Ben McElroy. Honestly, when an album creeps back in and surprises me this much upon taking a complete listen, it leads to a far more intense love of the music. Highest Recommendation! Favorite track: The Yellow'un Always Wins.

We Were The Hum Of Dreams

supported by 50 fans who also own “The Word Cricket Made Her Happy”

Anything Jason Corder (Offthesky) touches has a golden glow...so imagine what you get if he teams up with Craig Tattersall (the humble bee) and you have pure magic. Corder's brilliance with the spatial aspects of a composition come into play, in contrast to- or harmony with- Tattersall's smoky, mysterious musings. For example, Rin Howell's vocals are right here, up front- whilst the rest is on different,faraway planes....Magical to say the least......ss/am editions vaché
