Here is a good summer song for you: 'Headshake' by Saturday, Monday featuring Julia Spada.
Julia is the singer in O'Spada (here they are on Facebook), who we featured in our Song Of The Day slot a while back and in fact still seem to be active so we'll have to remember to investigate what they've been up to.
That's not Julia in the picture below, by the way. It's just a screengrab from this video, which is bursting with warmth and loveliness almost as much as we love the breezily and addictively wrong-sounding, single-song-repeat-friendly single itself.
The release comes from Swedish label Despotz, who we got very excited about almost exactly a year ago when they put out LCTRISC's mighty 'Sunbird'
As for Saturday, Monday — and we're literally copying and pasting this from the press release here — it's "the instrumental autobiography of young Swedish uk-bass-dj / club promoter Ludvig Parment. This is the second taste we get from his debut album The Road and The Ocean and The End planned for early 2013 release".
2013 seems a long way away, doesn't it? But it's not. Basically, The X Factor's already started, and by the time that's out of the way 2013 will be about a fortnight away. We hope you've enjoyed 2012. As a year, we give it 6/10.
