The Mummers

One of life's great pleasures is trying an album out and on first play, you know you love it.

Even better, that it improves and grows with every further listen.

We couldn't stop playing The Mummers: Tale to Tell album, all day, on Sunday. The first great album of the year and a great album for the summer.

Someone described it, quite nicely, on itunes as 'Bjork meets Julie Andrews meets Goldfrapp meets Karen Carpenter'.

Here they are (and their very attractive lead singer, Raissa) on Later with Jools Holland.
