Usually when you meet people at parties and they tell you they "only really listen to old music" it's kind of a conversation-killer. That's because "old music" usually means Jimi Hendrix, or Led Zeppelin, or The 'Stones or whatever, and lord knows it's hard to find new ways to talk about the music those men made. But you sense it'd be different with Jonathan Jeremiah - listening to this Quiet Village remix of his "Happiness", lapped at by tides and bursting with elegantly swollen strings, I feel like I could maybe talk all night about "old music"; about Dionne Warwick, Burt Bacharach, Otis Redding. Graceful man music, not just rock'n'roll sounds for sexually buzzed-up boys. This song's as smooth as air and as great as those it loves. Maybe I should start going to better parties.    

Sounds Like: Scott Walker, Martin Denny, Nick Drake
