1. EOB - Earth
My album of the year, for me this set of tunes had everything to lift my spirits through the long spell of lockdown (including a guest appearance from Laura Marling). This album will make you want to dance (Olympik) Contemplate (Sail On) Get a bit angry (Banksters) and even cry it’s so beautiful (Cloak of the Night).
Take a stroll with Ed O’Brien and enjoy!
