30) Delorean - Stay Close
Due to time constraints I am going to keep today’s entries short and sweet. Delorean remind me of the summer. A lot. The band, hailing from Barcelona, have a knack of creating pop songs that sound as if they were created solely to soundtrack the most perfect summer you could imagine. Stay Close is my highlight of their truly wonderful third album Subiza. It’s blissful and euphoric, dreamy and gorgeous. Close your eyes and pretend your watching the sun set on a beach in
29) The Tallest Man On Earth - King Of Spain
King Of Spain was the standout track from The Tallest Man On Earth AKA Kristian Matsson’s second LP The Wild Hunt which was released earlier in the year. Mattsson’s raspy and gruff vocal is very Dylan-esque, (he even references Dylan himself in this song with his ‘boots of Spanish leather’ lyric) but it works magnificently well as a striking contrast to the guitar work and the storytelling that he gets across so well with his lyrics. Exciting and beautiful in equal measure, folk music hasn’t sounded this good for some time.
