Get Well Soon: You/Aurora/You/Seaside (Nude) Curious sleeve on this seven inch from an unknown to me, swirly 17 century (William Morris even?) styled furnishing fabrics collaged into anonymous/blank, clutching couples. The music is a weird blend of klezmer/marachi horns backed by furious sounding drums, hand claps and mournful vocals in an amzing arrangement. Reminded me of Beirut, so it could be hit amongst you lot. Second single of the week contender.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
