This new GRUFF RHYS 7" called Candylion is a bit good like. Gentle paced 60's influenced ballad I guess... could have been a Burt Bacharach song? It sounds timeless.... pure pop if you ask me. Unfortunately all I can think is Candy Flip. Not that this sounds anything like Candy Flip but I read it in relation to one of the reviews I was banging onto the site yesterday and it's stuck in my head for some reason.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
