The Tallest Man On Earth - Dark Bird Is Home MA

May Album

Notable albums this month come from Best Coast, Du Blonde, Hop Along, Brandon Flowers and more but my favourite is the 4th studio album from The Tallest Man On Earth called Dark Bird Is Home. Through listening to the album, I fall for everything he sings about even if at first I don't fully understand that what he is singing about. After multiple listens I was hooked and in the palm of his hand like warm putty. This is just a testament to him as a lyricist and a musician who has the ability to convey strong messages in the short limited length of a song. I hope you enjoy the whole album in the video below as much as I do.

Temples & Childhood Live

Last night I went to a Temples gig at my favourite venue (The Library at The Institute just in case you didn't know). It was a great gig and I got there at just the right time to get a great spot on the balcony, beautiful job. The guitar playing from the lead singer in Temples was amazing and the guitars he played were some of the most stylish designs that I have seen and I loved them. I was also pleased to see Childhood supporting them who I haven't seen since Reading festival, and they were brilliant. Also supporting was Dark Bells, who were an unknown to me but I am now a bit of a fan. The gig as a whole was one of the best ones I have been to recently. Brilliant line up and brilliant sound, enough said.
