Not content with bog standard packaging Loaf have another release from Charlie Alex March which is a 7" on clear orange vinyl sticker sealed in a pvc sleeve with a fold out print from Yokoland. Tender heartfelt acoustic singer songwriter stuff that's theme of finding "true love in the end" is endearing. 'When The Clouds Clear' is a sweet twinkly number that's not unlike a more accessible Colleen. Old Charlie's not adverse to trying his hand at other instruments either. 'Piano Song' sees the man tinkling the ivories and playing some heart-wrenching strings. My personal favourite track on here 'Thinking Of You' is constructed from some excellent plinky plonkey percussion and reminds me of Ovuca's 'Afternoon Girl' track. During the coming weeks this will be coming out on CD and 7" in different packaging i.e a 7" strapped to 12" screen print in 12" sleeve as with previous Loaf releases. As with all releases on this label you can be assured of the quality.
