King of Woolworths – Ming Star
[x] Obscure name [x] weird album cover [ ] rock and roll [x] beautiful music
I know very little about King of Woolworths except that his music is beautiful and life-affirming. Firmly in the electronica end of chillout this album is none-the-less definitely worth checking out. Lovely calming beats underpin sweeping orchestral music which will carry you away into day-dreams faster than you can say whatthefuckisgoingonwithtrackfive? Which is the album’s only downfall – a weirdly atmospheric monologue about some woman explaining to the police why how she was attacked by her husband (if I remember correctly – something like that anyway). Still, that aside the album is awesome and highly recommended.
