Winter is oeuvre
Seasonal songs are pleasing but troubling. They may be recorded in the midst of the season they describe, reflecting the season's colours and the artist's mood. Lovely. Except that when the song is released several months later, the listener is in a different mood entirely. Or songs are recorded in anticipation of a seasonal release date, which just makes you think of percussionists recording sleigh bells in flip-flops and shades. Anyway, in celebration of unseasonal seasonal music, here is Winter is Over by the musically gracious Jo Hamilton.

Colour me in hits the spot. And if you don't think so, you're spot's in the wrong place. The rest of Broadcast I think struggles to rise above the line. "You can trance, you can sample, having the time of your life..."
