Are we almost in September already? The seasons pass so quickly you barely have time to catch your breath. Talking of which Evolution is one of those rare things in these days of the modern language of pre-programmed (un)certainties, for it lives and breathes and evolves in its own, unlimited, open spaces. This live performance

Sometimes the best things arrive in small, unexpected packages. Such as this album appearing by morning on my radar. Although, it seemed much more appropriate to put words to paper approaching nightfall than the cold light of day. Centring on the breath may not always be in search of relaxing process. In this case the

Maybe it has something to do with reviewing a Burt Bacharach album last night but this romantically inclined number from Thee Marloes feels too perfectly pitched between Soul and daydreams to be missed. Driven at an easy pace the sunshine instrumentation is both emotionally resonate and funky as you like, while the vocal tastes just
