They are back, back, BACK
Let’s hope that it really is their best album since Deserters’ Songs. Now where did I put that musical saw?
New Mercury Rev album
Rutger Gunnarsson
Abba’s main bass player, a great exponent of the melodic bass in the McCartney tradition, and one of Bjorn Ulvaeus’ oldest friends has died. One of those people who played along quietly in the background, but who added that extra 5% to transform a song from good to excellent. Just wanted to mark this as he was evidently a modest man with a great talent.
New Calexico-Edge of the Sun
Calexico’s new album out Monday, it’s a grower I think, not as immediate as Algiers. First and last tracks are my faves.
