It takes all sorts, doesn't it? 😂 the Cameron Winter track was probably my favourite of the album and I thought the Dandy Warhols thing was one of the worst things I'd heard in ages 😂

Indeed it does! It's what makes music so infinitely fascinating. The cello on the CW is too discordant for me.

This month's a hard one, after a couple of relatively barren months March is pretty stacked! Still got to listen to Arlo Parks, Angine de Poitrine, Raye, SOPHS and Twilight Sad before Thursday night!
