Song For Sunday - 12th Nov - 72 & Sunny

Pop-jazz singer Spencer Day has been quiet on the video front for a while. His latest album was released early this year but it's only now we're getting a video for one of the songs. 72 and Sunny's warm retro visuals are in opposition to the song itself, about the modern approach to dealing with life that isn't so sunny for some.

Song for Sunday - 5th Nov - Runaway

This is Oscar and the Wolf from Belgium who gives good electro pop. The song Runaway is built around the notion that too much of a good thing - like love  is both addictive and destructive, and inevitable.

Nothing better on a Sunday morning that a shot of string laden live music. Here is Heidrik performing Breakup Song live in Russia.

Song for Sunday - 22nd Oct - Chasin'

The Australian dream-pop outfit Cub Sport have a second single from this years album and this one - Chasin - is more dream like than before. With a repeating refrain of not knowing what what he's doing with his life, or what he's chasing, the singer gives the kind of Sunday song that I like.

Song for Sunday - 15th Oct - Empty Pools

The Pansy Boys are the male version of Tegan & Sara, a pair of Canadian queer twins, making music that captures and reflects back how they feel.
Empty Pools captures that last blush of summer where you can laze around not doing much, with a tinge of melancholia about the season just passing.

Their five track EP In Days Of Yore is definitely a Sunday kinda listen.

Song for Sunday - 8th Oct - Clairvoyant

Nakhane is a musician, actor and writer and produces some of the most moving songs you'll hear.
His previous LP and EP are both well worth a listen, but this song - hopefully from a new LP - is just a few beats away from being a full on dance track. Clairvoyant is instead a thrumming, sensual, neon-lit, bold love song.

Song for Sunday - 1st Oct - Blueprint

Bright Light. Bright Light is one of my go to artists on a daily basis and this song one of my favourites of his. From a peaceful start to a soaring end this is a little slice of electro pop for a Sunday.
