Adventures In the Underground Journey To The Stars

No, that's not the title of the latest King Britt mixtape. It's the title of the new South album. I just downloaded it (legally) and am having a great time letting it fill the morning air. It's like the missing link between vintage Small Faces and the Stone Roses. Plunky bass and rickety guitars that sound like they were recorded in a damp basement in the English countryside give way to thumping kick drums and 21st century guitars that sound like they were recorded in the open-air of a cement urban cityscape. It's not the future of music, but it's the instant highlight of this beautiful, sunny, chilly Spring morning.
