It rained all through July

The first of August and the first time the sun came out in what... three weeks... four weeks? I had this line stuck in my mind all day: "It rained all through July", which seems just so apt - I don't think I've lived through any July this rainy in all of my life. It took me a while to figure out what song it was, but when I remembered I immediately knew this should be my second post.

Probably my favourite album of 2010, I've played Summer Fiction so much I don't think anything ever made it up my listening stats that quickly! The brilliantly charming Chandeliers has already become an indie pop classic. It always puts me in a good mood, and the rest of the album fits around it perfectly: "The album loosely follows a young girl’s coming of age but reads like the journal entries of the guys who fall for her throughout her life."

The Chandeliers single is still up for free on Bandcamp, complete with b-side and demo.
