I understand this is something that would not traditionally appear on Ladies, but I thought everyone should know that the new Sigur Ros album is absolutely gorgeous.
This song is just so beautiful and heart-wrenching, despite not being able to understand the Icelandic. The string build-ups, the soft piano, and the yearning in Jonsi’s voice all make for an extremely emotional listening experience. Do yourself a favor and put this on as you lay down to sleep - find yourself being taken away with the grandeur of the production. Just don’t be surprised if you find yourself recalling a stirring memory and shedding a tear or two.
In partnership with Point Blank, Glade Festival is offering you the chance to collaborate with Glade favourite Kamikaze Space Programme (aka Drum & Bass hero Raiden) by remixing the track Little Green Men, click here for more info and prizes!

James Vincent McMorrow - If I Had a Boat
James Vincent McMorrow is like when you throw together leftovers (maybe some Bon Iver, Band of Horses, Otis Redding, a touch of William Fitzsimmons) and come out with a result more delicious than you ever could have anticipated.
He’s soulful, he’s folky, he’s alternative. He croons. He composes. What I like best about McMorrow is something incredibly familiar and comforting in his raspy, falsetto voice.
His music’s well-worn in feeling embodies nostalgia - as if you’ve always listened to his CD, Early In The Morning, on repeat, in your bedroom, on road trips.
