So as a relaxing, infant soothing soundtrack they could plump for this lovely French CD by GYPSOPHILE. Obviously not Daily Mail readers then. Hahaha. (it's an ingredient found in soil apparently, is gypsum) This is twinkling low key claassically minded folk with sporadic smoky jazz flourishes, backwards masked abstract samples & whimsical vocals. Swaying laments that inhabit ground somewhere between Hood, early Tindersticks, Tortoise & an avant-garde corner cafe troupe. Oh I do so cherish the word organic (for it sums up this album's intimate, pure melancholy). It saves me so much head stress it really does. This is a collection of bravely experimental downtempo loveliness that has fantastical gatefold artwork that i could imagine adorning the pages of Philip Pullman's Northern Lights trilogy. Really pretty good. (we also have 2 more CD's on the label but we only had time to play one of 'em!) Listen to it here!!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
