It has been months since I did a round-up of newer music that has caught my ear. However, having had a year that has so far thrown some rather significant distractions my way - including being threatened with redundancy and having to go through formal interviews not once, but twice; (unexpectedly) having to move house from a place we had worked damned hard on for four years to somewhere that has provided us with more headaches than homosexuels d'un certain age should have had to deal with; and my other half Madam Arcati having to change jobs - I think I have sufficient excuse.
[Be prepared - my selections will come in several parts.]
Needless to say, my favourite bloggers out there - in particular the stupendous Henry at Barbarella's Galaxy - have continually scoured the interwebs (so I don't have to) for music that has been a delight to discover.
So, to make a start, what little surprises has the summer of 2014 thrown up? In the past few months we have seen the very welcome returns of some old favourites here at Dolores Delargo Towers...
Certainly not least of these is the gorgeous Mika and his faboo Boum Boum Boum [fnaar fnaar]:
The uber-diva Miss Martha Wash bounced back with a vengeance:
We had an excellent return to form for Miss Sophie Ellis-Bextor:
And our ever-sexy houseboys Kazaky invited us to eat their Magic Pie (yes please!):
But the biggest - and most beautiful - musical event? The long-anticipated release of Miss Roisin Murphy's Mi Senti EP, from whence comes the sublime Ancora Tu...
This little round-up is merely by way of a catch-up of lovely tracks by familiar artists for your delectation, dear reader.
Our next instalment will cover some new(er) artists...
