So far, anyway.

The Wild Swans: English Electric Lightning

 

[I am a Ghost]

will be this.

 

[Superhans]

Well it's not a single, it's an EP, but it's still flippin' great:

Johan, good song..reminded me of 'Faded Glamour' by Animals That Swim. Try track that down if you've not heard it.

Yeah i like these, i've got that 'All i wanna do' (not the ''Heart' or 'Sheryl Crow' song.) single which sounds like Kirsty MacColl fronting Camera Obscura...no bad thing.
Cheers, not heard this.

Re The Wild Swans:

Thanks for that, quite a rich history. Read more on wiki. I've never heard of them. *hangs head in shame* I like the Deltasonic connection

I'm enjoying listening to the spoken word song 'Coldest Winter for a 100 years', according to wiki: "extracted from Simpson's forthcoming memoirs and, which set against a backdrop of scaling guitars and shimmering keyboards, tells of the first years of the Wild Swans and his own history sharing a flat in Liverpool with Bunnymen drummer, the late Pete de Freitas."

I'm not placing any bet on single of the year just yet!

Yeah, that's a great song, too! It's the b-side, and, as with all great singles, as good as the A-side!

No, hadn't heard it, great song! Must have escaped me at the time.

Will check them out.
