Sarah Cracknell - on the swings, 2015

"On The Swings is a wonderfully soft focus, pastoral sounding piece that sounds as if it’s floated dreamily in from the first summer of love. Sarah’s breathy vocal sashays gently over the top of the retro dream-folk backing that flourishes with references towards easy listening, Marianne Faithfull and Twin Peaks production"

Neil Young - blowin in the wind cover live, 1991

"On a frigid night in January 1991, I piled into Madison Square Garden to see and hear Neil Young. After the intermission following the opening act (Sonic Youth), darkness enveloped the crowd. We heard the sounds of machinery and explosions, alarms rang out. We were surrounded by the sounds of war – a reminder that while we sat in that arena a war raged across the world in Kuwait and Iraq. Out of the cacophony came the unmistakable sound of Neil Young’s guitar – thick, muddy, purposeful – playing the simple melody to “Blowing it the Wind.” On the stage, roadies dressed in leftover Star War-movie robes, raised an oversized microphone in an echo of the flag rising over Iwo Jima. The microphone stand wore a huge yellow ribbon."

A Weather - shirley road shirley, 2008

"The track is a melancholic, atmospheric piece with gentle instrumentation, introspective lyrics, and a dreamy vibe typical of the band's style (often compared to early Fleet Foxes or other Pacific Northwest folk acts of that era)."
