5...according to our Phil on Thu 27 Mar, 2008.

Here's a belting single by The Accidental called Wolves on Full Time Hobby. Limited 7" only from this wee group of funsters featuring Sam Genders from Tunng and a chap from The Memory Band. A Marvelous tune indeed. A little more subdued than I expected but the vocals are so Tunnglike you'd be let off a hard spanking from me for thinking it was in fact the same folky wondergroup (albeit a bit more downbeat). Any song all about wolves hiding in the woods drinking beer from plastic cups is a winner in my book. It's propped up with some delightful strings over a simple bontempi beat.... White vinyl 7" only including a Hot Chip mix which I just couldn't bring myself to play.

The Accidental is a new band featuring Sam Genders (Tunng) and Stephen Cracknell (The Memory Band), along with young rising songwriters Hannah Caughlin (The Bicycle Thieves / Fence Collective) and Liam Bailey (recently signed solo artist to Polydor).
Vinyl 7” limited to 500 copies only.
B-side of the 7” features an exclusive remix by Hot Chip..

5...according to Christina Howarth.

Blew me away! Heard the song on Maconie on Thrusday and can't stop thiking about it. It's kind of ethereal. I want to buy it but I haven't got a record player - is it available on CD?
