Moving away from all things electronic, Mac DeMarco’s ‘This Old Dog’ was probably a favourite release of 2017 – romantic without being trite or sentimental, a voice with a carefree charm that hides a self honest view of himself and the world that is a strangely comforting listen… The happy return of LCD Sound System last year with ‘American Dream’ means we have a good excuse to bust out a groove or two when nobody is watching – if you don’t feel the impulse to dance listening to this album you probably should book in with your local GP… The sublime mellow electronica of Four Tets ‘New Energy’ is often on call at the beginning of the day to ease things along… The relentless stream of caffeine consumed in Arbol headquarters helps, but music also plays a big role – thus as a good turn for the year ahead we’ll share a few albums each month that help keep us on the straight and narrow… Post new years hangover and caught in the frigid gloom of January, the lighter days of spring can feel just a touch out of reach at this time of year…but as we diligently plan for the year ahead under the cosy glow of Chester’s best light offering we allow ourselves a few consolations to raise the spirits.
