Radio Flora TM More music, more variety
The debut solo release from LA singer-songwriter Joe Bourdet has got to qualify as one of the most chilled things not actually served over ice. Released as two digital singles and one physical double A-side, ‘Seamist’ and ‘El Capitan’ are both gems. With Bourdet’s honeyed croon (think somewhere between James Taylor and David Gates) sailing in on a stream of glistening acoustics and keening pedal steel, they’re a pair of lovingly-crafted mid-tempo soft-rock tunes that could come straight out of Lauren Canyon circa 1971. It’s hard to pick a favourite when you get music as beautifully realised as this, but the wistful ‘Seamist’ might just edge it over the mellow Harvest chug of ‘El Capitan’. It’s a hoary old cliché to describe music as having a “laid-back California vibe” but this is the real deal. So if the patched jeans fit… Martin Ruddock.
