Whilst having my (mid afternoon) breakfast today and listening to 6music, I heard something quite special. It was something that sounded as if it should already be big and lauded but I for one had never heard it before. Lovely horns with some electronic clicks and bleeps dancing around some beautiful chords and singing. It sounded kinda like Guillemots doing Radiohead covers, but better; fresher.
When the song finished I was told it was by a band called Professor Penguin, and was chosen, of all people, by Brian Eno. Well, the only decent version I could find on the internet is an acoustic rendition of the song I heard this morning, called Pilot. And it sounds nothing like the tune earlier, but still great, think an English Fleet Foxes.
Here is a band that deserves recognition, and although I havent heard their album, such is the quality of this song, one just knows it will be good. Oh, and if anyone can find it (or a studio version of this song) online, let me know. Ta
hello there.
