50 for 2010 - Gareth #2
Soft Healer - Movie Light (Captured Tracks)
My favourite discovery of the year, I found Austin band Soft Healer in a car park at SXSW and have shouted about them ever since. Their debut 7” came out in the summer on renowned New York label Captured Tracks. The A side ‘Gentle One’ is sublime but, like the Master Musicians of Bukkake 7” I highlighted yesterday, it is the B side that gives the most pleasure.
Listen to it below.
