Today’s song is a song by a new and upcoming [nu?] folk band from London, whom I happen to know a quarter of - The Accidental.
From their biography:
Take the man behind The Memory Band and co-founder of Trunk Records (Stephen Cracknell), the twisted songwriter from Tunng (main man Sam Genders), one half of Fence Collective duo The Bicycle Thieves (my friend Hannah Caughlin) and singer-songwriter Liam Bailey. Put them in front of a PC with the help of a few friends and the outcome is new collective The Accidental and their beguiling debut album There Were Wolves.
The song is their second single, ‘I Can Hear Your Voice’, released May 12th.

Today’s bonus clip is by Imogen Heap, in her song and video “Just For Now”. All done with her voice, her hands and a live sampler and some vocal effects.
Imogen Heap is an English singer-songwriter from Romford, London, most famous for her work as part of Frou Frou and for her 2005 solo record Speak for Yourself, which she wrote, produced and mixed herself. In 2006, she was nominated for two Grammy Awards.
Enjoy!
