Getting drunk seems to be the way I cope

It's not that often that I post stuff that randomly arrives in my inbox.

Mostly because I buy a lot of cds and I struggle to find the time to listen to them as it is.

But also because a lot of it is either not to my tastes or it's just simply not very good. But every so often someone sends me their music and it's ace. Today is one such day. Chris from Chris And Mollie sent me a little note and pointed me in the direction of their music. And it's a pure joy.

Sure the sound is kinda lo-fi. But that's not a bad thing and doesn't disguise the big ideas at the heart of the songs. Transforming primitive and basic sounds into original songs. Somehow combining heart break with uplifting joy. Simplicity with imagination. Noises float in and swirl around. There's twee bits, folk bits, quiet bits and slightly louder bits. And they all come together to form a wonderful whole that sounds like they're having the most tremendous fun imaginable.

You can find out more here and you can buy their records here, so go do both.
