Song of the Day # 624 Bill Ryder-Jones


Former Coral guitarist. This is out soon, has more than a touch of Pavement about it but is nicely evocative in its own right. Clearly about home. The video meanwhile almost a small independent film in itself in the tradition of Juno and Garden State.

I've followed this up this morning by cupping an ear to his 2013 album A Bad Wind Blows In My Heart, and it's wonderful listen. Word-weary, slightly resigned and wistful but poignant and melodic songs, with a very neat lyrical turn of phrase. A companion piece for The Magical World of The Strands. A real talent.
