Song(s) of the Day # 4,296 Clementine March


Alan Partridge the great vulgarian comic creation of Steve Coogan is never truly at ease with the artistically or creatively inspired. The artistically inspired or inclined. He tries to engage with them but will inevitably be unable to keep up and so inadvertently or quite deliberately insults ior denigrates them, in any way that he san and ends up showing himself up..

You can imagine how Partridge would react to Frenchwoman Clementine March and her exquisite new album Powder Keg. It's for 'that lot' . Chamber, Brazilian Exotica, Jazz, Folk, Avant Pop. It's totally unrestrained and completely delightful. Stereolab, Cate Le Bon and The Raincoats come to mind. You can imagine the record collections of the musicians concerned and the audience members. .

Guest appearances from Naima Bock, Katy T, Pearson,  Alabaster De Plume and many more  It's a Friday night knees up for the Rough Trade hip set. It's so hip it hurts but why ever not. Clementine is doing select dates around the country in the coming weeks. Treat yourself.    .
