Spontaneous post provoked by real excitement here. I’ve got raging tune-wood for this pair that I heard today via Who The Hell, Mecca of all mp3s Australian and arbiter of tastes amazing. If you’ve read through all previous syntax and you’re still here then truly you’ve earned this. I reward you with a treat and that treat is Edward Francis.

I’m all goosed up on both these jams and I’m almost anxious in my haste to listen to both of them, repeatedly, constantly, so I can come to terms with them. They truly are both wonderful. Horse Rock Love Song because it manages to combine spaghetti western guitar with drawn out sax licks in a combination that shouldn’t work but good gravy, it does. Of course I’m spending each five minute listening trying to determine whether the spaghetti western reference was supplanted in my mind by virtue of the songs title but we’re done, we’re past that, the next song has begun. The tempo is up, the sound bed expanded (though that sax is still really right among things) and we’re hearing piano runs and… a marimba? Do my ears deceive me? The lady vox is Phia who has made waves in her own right the past year round. I’ve dug a little deeper, IT’S A KALIMBA, PEOPLE. Now we know… Now we know.
