M Craft anyone?
I’m sort of stuck for new music at the moment. Nothing seems to be taking my fancy, and in addition to this, I’ve just taken delivery of a completely gorgeous new camera which has shifted the portion of my mind and my time that deals with ‘hobbies’ away from music to photography.
Oh, and, all things being well, I’m going to be a dad in February, which has slightly distracted me from wondering whether or not I should get the new Clinic album.
However, my main musical query at the moment is whether M Craft is ever going to make it out of the ‘credible, but barely known’ corner. His song Dragonfly is one of my favourite of the last year, I keep listening to it, and keep loving it.
It all seems to be heading in the right direction since I saw him play in the Spring: he played the Guardian tent at Glastonbury, and did some cool London gigs over the summer. I saw him interviewed in Time Out the other week (have to admit, he came across just a teeny bit pretentious). Fluxblog has posted his new single (next to Girls Aloud).
But, doubts remain…is he too winsome for his own good? Will he remain a minority taste? A new album will decide all…
