A couple of weeks ago I commented on this years Mercury prize saying I would put up something by the winners “The xx”, having bought it as a result.
I have tired hard to like this record but can work up no enthusiasm, it is ok at best. Both my lads disagree however.
What I cannot understand is how, Corrine (seeing her in N’castle on Monday), Mr Weller (same city December) and the Mumfords were passed over.
That said Laura Marling’s latest “I speak because I can” is better still – yes even better than “The Sea”.
