Late night listening for Episode 75. Some jazzy, some ambient, some folky, some at the quieter end of indie and let’s and not forget the brass band. I mention a link to Bandcamp for one of the albums i.e. Leyland Kirby and that is: https://leylandkirby.bandcamp.com/album/we-so-tired-of-all-the-darkness-in-our-lives

I think all the tracks have merit (else they wouldn’t be here) but not all are an easy listen, so when it comes to Bibio – just think of church bells mournfully tolling.

The tracks on this episode are:

1. I Don't Know What to Say 2:49 The Weather Station The Weather Station

2. Consolation 4:38 Leyland Kirby We, so tired of all the darkness in our lives

It was here Fagan stated “We’re the Steely Dan organisation. We’re a little different from what we were a few months ago, but I gotta live with that.” The only reference made to Becker’s untimely departure.
