trackback
With December only hours away, it seems like a good night for something mellow. Tom McRae hit it big with his first two albums (his self-titled debut garnered him a Mercury Music Prize nomination in the U.K. in 2001), but he’s recently settled into semi-respected singer/songwriter territory, releasing an album of delicate pop songs every couple years to moderate acclaim and sales. McRae has a soothing tenor, and it’s usually supported by piano, acoustic guitar, and understated strings. Just the right thing for a chilly autumn night. McRae’s second album, 2003′s Just Like Blood, is my favorite. This song comes from that album, and it’s called “You Only Disappear.”
