I really really loved the first single from Slow Club’s new album, listened to it over and over when it first came out. Equal parts soothing and gloomy. Video’s great too.

Is it bad that my track of the year is Arab Strap’s First Big Weekend of 2016, a song that is effectively 20 years old?

Silver medal goes to Pete, Bjorn and John’s “What You Talking About?”

For some reason I’ve not really got into the album, just love the song.

If there was any sense in the world this would be a huge (pop, mainstream) hit.
