So apparently I missed a not very announced Guillemots (or 'The Guillemots') gig at Islington Academy yesterday. Crap. I only found this out via London Lite (the far more godawful of the two new free papers we have now) and their atrocious review of it. Although perhaps part of my dislike of it may come from worrying that my gushing on them sounds similar even if I try to cover the music and don't actually write "Gosh, she is gorgeous!". Twice.
I did see Bat For Lashes on Tuesday though, which was rather good. It's amazing how much confidence she has gained since six months ago and a lot of the newer album songs sounded fantastic. "Moon & Moon" made a welcome reappearance in the encore too, the most straightforwardly beautiful of all probably and reminding me somewhat of the Elbow likes of "About Time".
The Spitz joins Bush Hall on a list of venues never to go to when it's hot though. Argh.

I love "About Time" - consider me officially intrigued.
Which one? I am thinking of the piano one (and probably should have said that... oops). The actual album doesn't have anything quite like that but you might well like it. Will upload it soon!
