I think all my end of 2011 celebration hangovers have come at once - with interest.
Back at work and back to the blog and paying attention to music. Starting with this, which I can comfortably is the best new song I've heard this year!
On first hearing this I was taken back to the first time I heard Yeasayer's debut album All Hour Cymbals, with it's African rhythms, Ghanian/Nigerian guitar twangs and disco basslines.
Needless to say it was no great surprise when I found out the Sinkane is the solo project of Yeasayer drummer Ahmed Gallab who is preparing to release his debut album Mars in 2012 featuring collaborations from Twin Shadow and Yeasayer's Ira Wolf.
Listening to his soundcloud tracks and reading his blog (anyone who features Curt Boettcher's Millenium and David Crosby's debut solo LP is alright by me) it seems that Mars is going to be a diverse little mother with psych, exotic, jazz, disco and African flavours all going into the pot.
