Band of Holy Joy How To Kill A Butterfly

Band of Holy Joy – A Clear Night, a Shooting Star, a Song for Boo by BeatSurrender

Wonderfully crafted the songs preach with a desolate beauty leaving behind plenty of food-for-thought 

I’ve listened and enjoyed some great music this year but none better than this album from Band Of Holy Joy which just stopped me in my tracks, but it doesn’t end with the musical brilliance as the CD release is packaged beautifully too in a book format with wonderful original artwork by Inga Tillere, for your chance to win a copy drop us an Email with the subject line BOHJ and I’ll pick a random entry and put a copy of the CD in the post to you (overseas entries welcome)

2 Zoe Muth & Lost High Rollers Starlight Hotel

Muth’s vocal is just perfect, sad, sincere, achingly beautiful

I signed up during last summer through Pledge Music to support the third album from Emily Barker & Red Clay Halo (Anna Jenkins, Jo Silverston and Gill Sandell), Almanac arrived around six months later and was well worth waiting for, I’m not a huge telly fan and at this risk of sounding a snob about it – a lot of what passes for entertainment these days makes my brow furrow, every now though something comes along that’s worth investing time in, which brings me back to Almanac and the third single from the album Pause a version of which has been used as the theme tune to the BBC’s excellent seven part drama The Shadow Line.

The back story to the track is that UK based Aussie Emily wrote it when back in her childhood home on the other side of the world in Bridgetown, WA, it’s a . . . → Read More: Emily Barker & Red Clay Halo “Pause” The Shadow Line
