There's five tracks on this Le B 7" and it plays at 45rpm, would you Adam and Eve it? You've probably figured out by this point that the tracks are all pretty short then, and the fact that this is released on Finders Keepers offshoot Bird should tell you that they're by a lady. Bit weird that one. They're all folky and acoustic and lovely with just the slightest hint of aggression in the guitar playing that's really reminding Phil of the acoustic version of PJ Harvey's Dry. Le B possesses a wonderfully comforting and expressive voice and this 'Good Fortune Sounds' 7" is very nice indeed!

What their label says...
· Recorded in one room with one mic in one take with one objective and a thousand ideas, this five-track sketchbook captures a rare artist in her natural habitat devoid of pretension or overproduction, with an awkward and ambrosial tone that begs urgently and comforts casually. · Inspired by love, loss and late night adventures Le B's saccharine songsmithery is presented on the finest mechanical medium, and includes a version of the English volk standard ‘The Trees They Do Grow High’. · Available on limited edition 7" vinyl (500 copies).
