Track of the week: Bad News Club - 'Absent'

The cold, snowy weather makes us want to listen to soothing folk tunes to warm us up, so this week's track of the week is just that. Absent is the B-side to Bad News Club's recent single The Painter (listen to that one here), which he's launching with a show at Servant Jazz Quarters tonight. The new tune is just beautiful - check it out below.

Track of the week: Me and The Moon - 'It's Alright'

Our faves Me and The Moon have just dropped new single It's Alright which we're loving! The tune was premiered by Too Many Blogs, who write of the track that it is a "playful ode to Fleetwood Mac with a deeply personal twist [...] a melancholic bop that has all the infectious vocal melodies and dreamy guitar chords you could ever want." They're touring the UK across February and March to support the release of the single, including back-to-back hometown shows in Guildford for us. The show on the 28th has long been sold out, but there are a handful of tickets left for the 27th here.
