Mr Hudson & The Library - Upon The Heath


Ahh, Hampstead Heath, for real (SotD 09/10/2008). Very middle-class, very clever, very musical. There are a few people who dislike Mr H et al for that. I don't see why. They're as tuneful and as interesting as anything I've ever seen live, with a range of influences that'd put most bands to shame. I'd have this lot over Coldplay any day.

Anyway, they made a video for this song for some reason, I don't even know if it was actually a single. It doesn't look like it took much effort. Doesn't matter, with a tune like this I'd happily have it illustrated by that Animal Collective vid (SotD 23/10/2008).
