Well, There's A Surprise
So, I was listening to music yesterday. And I discovered that much to my surprise the chances of me being a hipster are quite high. I hope you can forgive me.
And anyway, the surprise is that I wanted to share a song with you! It's a bit mad but it's lovely.
Dagne,

Some News, I Suppose
Right. Well. Yeah.
This isn't a I'm-back-from-hiatus-post. This is a 'I've had tons of visits and I want to thank you all' post.
Because I do. You're all brilliant. And I am sorry I stopped doing this blog, but I was too busy. I still am, to be honest.
But I thought, since this blog is still getting loads of hits (!!!) I'd check in anyway and let you know what I've been doing.
Studying, and THIS. I've been writing bits and pieces of various things since I went on hiatus, but this is the first thing that's progressed past the honeymoon stage - it's a magical realist mystery/crime novel, and I'm really proud of it. So please-please-please, give it a read. You have to register to read Chapter 2 +, but it's free to do so. And I'd really appreciate it if you could vote for me. And maybe send it to your friends?
I update on Fridays between 7 and 10 GMT, and if I'm late I'll post on my writing blog beforehand. I shouldn't be late, though.
And! There's more! As an extra, I've had a few emails from people about their music - so I'll be posting about that soon.
Thank you so much,

AOTS: The Hale and Hearty, Heyward Howkins
Where to begin?
1. I'm sorry it's taken me this long to start back up again. I had a fair bit on the metaphorical plate what with exams and novels clamouring for my attention, but I'm back now, so all's well, I suppose.
2. I promised a while back that I'd review this, and I got the email that this was coming out about two months ago. It got lost in the wilds of my inbox, and just got dug back out again.
3. THANK YOU for not abandoning me! YOU'RE ALL EPIC *virtual hug*
4. I've been writing a lot recently, but my reviewing is very rusty. Forgive me? You will? Here, have a cookie.
AOTS: The Hale and Hearty, Heyward Howkins (late of more bands than you can shake a guitar at, including The Trouble With Sweeney.)
It seems this sound has been growing of late, the ocean-crossing mash of Nick Drake and Devendra Banhart. British melancholia basking in the American sun. Waist High Or Dry has the gentle glassiness of coastal shimmer-folk, The Raucous Calls of Morning the bass-y shadows of "traditional" British indie covered in rainclouds. It has echoes of a Bon Iver channelling Mumford and Sons - or possibly the reverse. The Live Oak slows down, more Nick Drake than anything else on the album. The thudding notes ground the otherwise ethereal nature of the track, giving the listener a careful foothold. Plume and Orange kicks the speed and instrumentation up again - it seems the slower, softer stuff isn't really at home - horns, keyboards, a computerised veil that doesn't fit as well as it could. There's a touch more country in Cocaine Bill than might be expected, and it flows beautifully. It has a warmth that some of the songs lack, a buoyancy that's strangely Josh Pyke-ish. The horns and keyboards are back, the former rich, the latter as cold as rain. It's a very good album, if a little unsure of itself.
7/10
