Spiritland's Mixcloud feed is similarly packed with down-tempo goodness: https://www.mixcloud.com/Spiritland/

Listening to Chris Coco from Spiritland now. It's quite good, and especially nice considering he doesn't talk. I regularly listen to Melodica, but his voice is even more annoying than Mary Ann Hobbes.

i like this comp a lot but it's just not the same as what he plays when you see him. i guess it's good he keeps this divide but still.

My friend reworked Otis by Durutti Column. Should fit in balearic sets.

This came up on shuffle on the way to work this morning but I have no idea where I got it from. Sounds like something Harvey might play so possibly that.
Great track though

Found it on my hardrive now in a folder called Loft Classics and dated 15 November 2016 so assume it was just after Mancuso died and everyone was posting their favourite tracks on FB

Didn't realise there was a new The Swan and The Lake album released earlier this year. Bit more minimal and new agey in parts but still very, very good

I've wondered about this one for quite a while and up it pops with a 2017 reissue. I haven't heard the rest of the LP yet. Genre names are for the birds and insects but it can go here

Yeah, this was a bit disappointing. You picked the best track to post above though!

more balearic rock than straight dance music, but i'm seeing Yumi Zouma today in austin and i've been thinking about their balearic revival influences a lot recently (they did an homage to air france's last single as one of their first releases). so, so good, and their releases keep showing a bunch of growth.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoDoTZFt-fo
― austinb, Saturday, 13 January 2018 21:24 (six years ago) link
(their label Cascine takes a lot of influence from Sincerely, Yours and the Gothenberg scene in general, so I end up following a bunch of their releases)
― austinb, Saturday, 13 January 2018 21:26 (six years ago) link
yes! I think I've mentioned Cascine before but they are basically keeping the Air France/Studio/Tough Alliance axis of 2007 balearic pop alive. How were YZ live? I am in a WhatsApp group they shared on their Facebook which the band members and tour manager are members of and it's been so frustrating hearing about this tour and them not actually coming to Scotland.
