Me and Armini
Emiliana Torrini
Rough Trade Us, 2008
A hugely ambitious pop record with Emiliana's soaring voice center stage, bolstered by a rich gamut of musical styles. From the summery skank of the title track to the surging, breathless single "Jungle Drum" to the yearning, spine-tingling "Big Jumps", "Me And Armini" is a truly sublime album.

Almadrava
Warm, intimate and intelligent songs from a trully creative and relaxing band from Spain
