Simon Bythesea Road is the track that sent me here, courtesy of the latest excellent compilation from Cherry Red: C88. It could have been written about me, the mundanity of life at the bottom of the career ladder lifted by the sight of a girl ('in a jacket' no less!) on the journey to work. The boy-girl vocals are always a win for me and the whole album is full of carefully observed lyrics played with gusto and sung with charm. I'll be back for more. Favorite track: Bythesea Road.
