Fruit Tree Foundation - Hired Help
One of my fav cuts this year, this song rocks. As does the album. Members of awesome Scottish bands - Delgados, Idlewild, Twilight Sad, Frightened Rabbit, James Yorkston etc- combined splendidly to produce a great set of songs in aid of a mental health charity. That said, there is nothing charitable about the sentiments endorsed in these songs- harsh, bleak, yet beautiful- this album deserves an airing.
Download their new EP here for free. 'Quack', as recommended by said the gramophone, is perhaps the best track on the album, mixing REM style preppy rock with the hooky yet lugubrious style of Elliott Smith.
Makes me want to listen to 100 Broken Windows, one of my fav ever albums. Thanks Rod Jones.
