Fresh Single From The New Mendicants
While the rest of the music is dying, and fawning over Kanye and Vampire Weekend, there’s still some great new music bubbling out to wrap up a great 2013 for us all. Personally, I’ve waited for this tune from New Mendicants to makes its way onto Soundcloud so I could share it with you. It’s the joint project of Joe Pernice and Norman Blake, who just happen to be two of my favorite songwriters. Joe takes the lead on this tune, though the guitar playing seems to have that Teenage Fanclub bent you’d expect from Norman’s songwriting. Don’t get stuck on the Christmas theme here, as the tune will feature on the band’s new record, The Lime, which comes out on January 20th via One Little Indian.
