MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: Scott Lavene - Prettiest Peach (Video)

Scott Lavene's Prettiest Peach starts with clanking percussion and a guitar groove, like my old mini, the clanking comes and goes, but the groove remains. The groove needs to be there, it acts like the lines to a page, the structure for the words to sit upon. The words themselves are presented as a deadpan, spoken word monologue which is brilliantly descriptive and amusingly frank. As Scott explains “Prettiest Peach came from a conversation with an aunt and brother at my Dad’s funeral. It’s about my family and humans in general, leaning towards the bright light, how people are odd and how oddness is excellent, how characters should be celebrated. It’s also about how the men in my family are generally a bit shit whereas mum, all mums, most mums, somehow hold it all afloat”.

For something a little different, this is well worth a listen, the video works really well too.
