EX-LAMB FOLK SEEKER, BBC6 PRESENCE

What music are you currently grooving to? Radiohead’s A Moon Shaped Pool. I seem to have a new favourite song every few times I play it. Also, Ry X’s new album Dawn. He has a voice that just sends chills through me. And an album called The Birds Outside Sang by Florist. The writer is a girl called Emily Sprague who, shortly after a move to Brooklyn, was involved in a hit-and-run cycling accident which left her in a neck brace and unable to move her left arm. Rather than being the miserable record you might expect, what emerged is sweet, fragile and innocently philosophical.

What, if push comes to shove, is your all-time favourite album? Elliott Smith’s Either/Or, although Say Yes breaks my heart every time I hear it.

What was the first record you ever bought? And where did you buy it? I think it was a Gallagher & Lyle single. Lord knows what drew me to them, but Breakaway and Heart On My Sleeve seemed to light up my 11-year-old self. I felt they were worth my pocket money. Which musician other than yourself have you ever wanted to be? I’d like to live inside a few peoples’ heads for a while. Sufjan Stevens – I’m awestruck by the way his songs are put together.

What do you sing in the shower? I do vocal warm-ups in the shower. Otherwise it’s whatever ear-worm has stuck there.

What is your favourite Saturday night record? Just now Khruangbin’s The Universe Smiles Upon You works well for a sunny Saturday evening making food with all the doors and windows open. It makes me feel really happy in a twisted Hawaiian kind of way.

And your Sunday morning record? Sunday Morning by The Velvet Underground is hard to beat, cliché or not. Otherwise I’d go for Nick Drake, either Five Leaves Left or Pink Moon, or vintage Billie Holiday or Django Reinhardt.
