Can’t You Tell – Vetiver
From the 2011 Album – The Errant Charm
Errant as in wayward, elusive. Wandering but not lost. Within that wandering, all manner of treasures waiting to be uncovered, and new ones that surface with each listen.

Darling Buds Of May – Viva Brother
From the 2011 Album – Famous First Words
On the cover of their debut album, the members of Viva Brother stare out from photographs hung in a barbershop window. A cynical voice might suggest that’s fitting, given that photographs hung in barbershop windows are usually about 20 years out of date. Viva Brother, after all, proudly cleave to the 1990s for inspiration. The occasionally angular guitar riffs and falsetto vocals are borrowed from Blur, while the attitude and vocal mannerisms come via Oasis. Taken from Alexis Petridis, article from the Guardian.

All Our Ends – Vessels
From the 2011 Album – Helioscope
There is some brilliant Mogwai elements to this album, and there is this dreamy, Lempn Jelly feel to it. It jumps from being real ethereal to rock operatic soundscape. A real interesting album and one to make few a lists.

Vienna – Ultravox
From the 1980 Album – Vienna
It only missed the Number one slot by John Lennon’s “Woman” but still won single of the year at the Brits in 1981. A truly classic song; a synth-pop ballad, using a grand piano as the main instrument and a viola solo in the middle of the song. The 2nd video is more traditional late 80’s synth pop rock tune.

King – UB40
From the 1980 Album – Signing Off
British reggae band formed in 1978 in Birmingham and named after a British unemployment benefit form. They had a host of hits, but their debut still holds that heavier reggae hint before sliding more into pop. The 2nd video is “Food For Thought”.

Mama’s Room – Under The Influence Of Giants
From the 2006 Album – Under The Influence Of Giants
Under the Influence of Giants is an unlikely album for a group of twenty-somethings who aren’t afraid to cite Olivia Newton-John’s “Let’s Get Physical” and Bob James’ Heads album as inspirations.
