A song to make your spine tingle

Whilst you wait for Portishead’s new album, Third (as if you waited - you grabbed the leak on p2p sites, didn’t you?!)

Here’s an amazing song by Mudville, a very Portishead like band: fronted by a woman whose singing and voice is so good it might be Annie Lennox, backed with the warbling acid jazz that makes us all love Portishead so much, but overall, the album incorporates more soul and blues into the mix (it’s being called post-trip-hop elsewhere on the web, would you believe it)

Mudville - The Hero of the World (album: The Glory Of Man Is Not In Vogue)

Eliza Doolittle
Impressive track (Rolling Stone) from unknown Glasto bit-part, Eliza Doolittle. Should be a hit; hopefully the nasty ad men won't spoil it by tacking a crappy TV advert to it! Her EP's out soon. The first half is great: distinctive, retro soul with a distinctive London bite. But it creeps too close to gym cafe music with Don't Say No though, you might want to give that track a miss. Bang Back, the final track, is supposedly just a demo (wondering what it's doing on an EP), and is just plain irritating Mariah Carey shite. ED's a name worth watching out for, assuming she can avoid the poppy crap (which may be a label demand, to be fair to her). Download "Eliza Doolittle - Rolling Stone" (disclosure: she's a fellow Arsenal FC fan, and this may or may not be the reason why of all the good music I've recently discovered very recently, I chose to share this!)...
