Rosie Taylor Project – This City Draws Maps (2008)
A recommendation from ‘Now I See You‘, this disc fluttered through my letter box and into the CD tray last week, seemingly in a single langorous moment. Since when it has become a fixture at Musica Mansions. Acoustic delicacies are not something one usually associates with Leeds, the home town of Norman Hunter, Billy Bremner and Johnny Giles, yet the joyful 8-0 drubbing of Southampton all those years ago, displayed the poetic heart that beat behind that fearsome midfield. So it is with the Rosie Taylor Project – delicacy and poise, a single minded devotion to the passing game, resulting in a record of startling simplicity and peerless grace. An album of pastoral beauty. Buy it. Today!

Sounds good based on a quick listen of snippets from Amazon.com — a hint of Belle & Sebastian, perhaps?
Oh, and I saw that 8-0 drubbing

Thank you ever so kindly for the mention. I am elated that you enjoyed the music well enough to write on it. I didn’t see the ‘drubbing’ (smartass Paul) but I *am* Canadian and we aren’t expected to really understand anything beyond ‘keep your stick on the ice’. Lol.
