Cornstalk Girl / Angel Gone

Post-cool or too old to care? Either way, don't miss out on this beautiful slice of alt-country-style Americana (suitably infused with a bit of Velvet Underground) from The Lovely Basement, one of the best-kept secrets of the indie world and the newest additions to the Precious roster as part of our ongoing singles club. The A-side might just be the best thing they've ever done – a gentle understated melodic outing with a lovely vocal from Katie Scaife. On the B-side is a fabulous cover of Beat Happening's Angel Gone. By the way, there's a new album due in a couple of months (a joint release between Precious Recordings of London and No Aloha in Spain). Angel Gone won't be on it.
