I’m lying here after a full on day working at the Big Day Out, sunburned and aching but reminded of how much amazing fun a great music festival can be. Highlights include Arcade Fire (and silver confetti), CSS (and the awesome Lakeside stage with Art In The Dark installations) & The 1975 and running into a whole bunch of old friends. Loved the new Western Springs venue.
Anyway, another music festival just around the corner is of course Laneway – Jamie xx (of UK band The xx) is heading back these ways. This track I’ve chosen is by no means new at all and has had a tonne of local airplay but it is a summer classic. Over 2 years old and still sounds current and fun.
Below is ‘Far Nearer’…
