Morning Bride - Lea Valley Delta Blues (Letterbox)
Bought on the strength of their gig at Hot Burrito, its good to see that the music translates to record as well as it does live. The mix of American female and British male vocals seems to work set to a bizarre backing of country influenced pop (which includes keyboards and cello!). Sort of Pulp and Nouvelle Vague jamming with the Handsome Family is as close as it gets! The simple analogue production keeps this quirky and entertaining collection of pop nuggets pure and free of new-world trickery.

(This site also considered 'Isabelline' the second best song of 2007).
