The supremely talented former-Super Furry Animals man has carved out a string of gorgeous records over the last couple of years on his 'Candylion' and 'Hotel Shampoo' albums.
This tune was featured on Uncut's recent covermount CD tribute to the genius of Brian Wilson's 'Smile' sitting alongside the likes of Panda Bear, Plush, Grizzly Bear, Ruby Suns and Sufjan Stevens.
This made me redisover this wonderful tune with it's gentle 60s backbeat, Bacharach & David vocal sample and almost-whispered hymn to a magical girl.
Lovely.
