Back in business....quietly.

Cloudy day in Bangalore, the monsoons are very late this year. There's been dark cloud cover for the past 2 months but no rains. I've been thinking of  a music blog for some time, nothing but posting the songs of the moment (playing in the study or the car on repeat). So instead of  starting a new blog thought it'll be better to revive this one. So the songs that make it to our ears frequently these days are -

• Mew - Snow Brigade (Album: Frengers)

I particularly love the verse:

I'll find you somewhere

Show you how much I care

Know that there is no escape

From my snow brigade

• Alex Clare - Hummingbird (Album : The Lateness of the Hour)

I had dismissed this album not being too sure of it on the first listen. But Mannu brought me back to it, this is her find and its a lovely song. We particularly love the pipe/wind organ at 0:58, it adds a poetic mysticism to a melodious song.
