Gorgeous mini-album from a UK folk-classical five-piece which would make one further LP. Serious top five contender 😊

💿 Working Out (2014)

My top five contender Arthur Beatrice were an elegant indie pop quartet with a hint of jazz. The band’s name I understand was borrowed from The Golden Girls actress. They would make one more album.

🎵 Charity, Ornament & Safeguard

My wife & I were in the audience today for Dr Rachel Clarke at Stratford Literary Festival. A deeply compassionate and engaging palliative care doctor and non-fiction writer, she told the story of a heart transplant, two families and the best of humanity in a time of unimaginable distress.

The LP, mostly instrumental, is an alt-folk Swans.

Perhaps the most impressive album artwork that I’ve seen in 2025 too 🤩

If like me you’re a fan of Bon Iver’s SABLE, fABLE LP then you’ll be familiar with his collaborations with Jenn Wasner aka Flock Of Dimes.

She’s a brilliant singer-songwriter. The Life You Save was released 10th October.

🎵 Afraid, I Think I’m God
