Passing the Time with Beth Gibbons
I was able to grab a copy of the new Beth Gibbons record, "Out of Season," a few weeks back. For those who don't know, Beth is the voice behind Portishead. This record, though, couldn't be any farther from that band. This is the record I wanted Beth Orton's "Daybreaker" to be: new, exciting, and rich. Sometimes jazzy, sometimes folky, but always haunting, "Out of Season" is a great album that I can't stop playing.
Especially when it's raining. It's a great soundtrack to falling raindrops.
I checked the big music websites around the web, and I can't find anything cheaper than $19.99 due to import status. You might be able to find it cheaper. I'd almost say $19.99 is worth it, but I won't. Because no singular CD is worth $19.99. (do you hear me, Sam Goody/Record Town/every-other-mall-record-store?)
