Is It The Sea ?

We've been away for the last month in Southwold in the caravan. Back at work today though. I love being back at work. I am writing this post on my phone on the 0819 to Liverpool St. I'm listening to the new Verve album.

Whilst away I've been listening to a lot of folky stuff that, I realise now, has a kinda nautical type theme. Maybe it was the rain and the sea, or the distant white noise of the A12 like a constant cresting wave whilst we slept in the van but I played loads of Waterboys (everything), Bonnie Prince Billy (new live album, Is It The Sea), Van Morrisons (Irish Heartbeat) and yet more James Yorkston (new album).

Here's a track from the James Yorkston album. Titled 'Midnight Feast' it's got this raucos sea shanty thing going on but then it's almost krautrock in its endevour. The cymbals are the ocean..
