ineffable beauty, unspeakable evil, etc
There have always been retro bands like Lucky Soul around, and if they haven’t made it big by now, they probably won’t. (But they have Glastonbury in late June….)
But I think they are fab. There are echoes of early Cardigans, St. Etienne, Camera Obscura, and even Swing Out Sister!
I confess to adoring their tunes, and singer Ali’s voice, attitude, and cheekbones pretty much equally.
… and it adds up to the sweetest thing.
Not to mention the fact that this video is absolutely wonderful. Attending a costume do at a country house as Simon & Garfunkel, and meeting friends there dressed as the cover art from Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors?! Someone please invite me to these parties!
Nothing to add. Camera Obscura’s sweet and melancholy sound is perfect for a gray day, such as today, here in Kentucky.
