TRACKLISTING. SUNDAY 05/06/2011

A wide mix of genres for your listening this morning. Slides slid us nicely into the start of the show - followed by the squeakyclean sound of Real Fur who've just finished the first musical tour of the UK's launderettes on record. Special mentions for Arcs and Trauma and Everyone To The Anderson while Tasha House from BBC Introducing In Northampton recommended local outfit Strangers with their 80’s infused dance track If I Found Love.

We revisited North Wales with Chloe Leavers and her gently crafted single All These Things before heading out West to catch up with our old friends Trwbador and a quick incidental plug for their fine compilation Owlet Music Volume One. Back in Cardiff, Bethan brought us Winter Villains - a band so brand new they've yet to play their debut gig. Despite the unseasonable name, their captivatingly ethereal track Icebergs could add sparkle to the sunniest of summer days.

From Alsager, pronounced [awl - seyj - er], we were joined in the studio by Sam and Tony from The Flares. As distinct from the similarly-named but unrelated Essex trio Flares we played last week. Blurry eyed from celebrating Sam’s 18th Birthday they told us about their upcoming appearance at the semifinals for the Surface Festival in Birmingham.

From Tom's NowPlaying@6Music show, guest contributor Owain Paciuszko from God Is In The TV supplied us with not one but two fantastic suggestions: an extract from Colour Music’s divine track Yes followed by Alex Dingley - our fourth Welsh artist featured in this morning's show. Oriole is a sweet treat of quirky guitar pop such as you’d expect to hear if the Moldy Peaches had a full band.

And our session tracks came from Whitby's Blue John Benjamin, accompanied by his brother Tom on trumpet and bass clarinet. Their extraordinary session was recorded and passed to us by the excellent Bob Fischer at BBC Tees.

But actually every tune in this morning’s show is a gem of one kind or another - otherwise we would't be playing them. You can listen to every track in full on the artists' own websites via the links below - or for the next 7 days hear the entire show in full on the BBC iPlayer.
