WILDBIRDS AND PEACEDRUMS- THE SNAKE

It's official- 2009 is already a better year for albums than '08. I've just been sent a promo of W&P's follow-up to Heartcore, and it's a far more accurate reflection of the majesty of their live shows than their debut. I cannot WAIT to see them again at the Luminaire (and possibly at the Social, although their last show there was ruined by twittering horsey-faced twats).

EDIT: Revelation! That absolutely amazing song they always finish their sets with is on this album- it's called Today/Tomorrow and that drum solo at the end is one of the best things ever.
