The first song this week is STAY WITH ME! by London based artist Frank Belcourt, aka Tiberius b. It's from their new album, Neverything which I think is a pretty cool name. They describe it as a song about love addiction and emotional dependancy. It's a great song that I've been humming away to myself lots lately.
To pair with this I've chosen Deado by Stephen Malkmus. It's the last track on his self titled album from 2001, recorded with the Jicks, the band he formed after Pavement but who go uncredited on this album. It's got a lovely simplicity to it and a beautiful chorus. Both songs demonstrate that sometimes a fairly stripped down instrumentation and simple arrangement can allow great songwriting to shine.
