New music: Twain - I'll Be Fooled Again

Twain is the side project of Low Anthem multi-instrumentalist Mat Davidson, who has recorded a new album of beautiful, understated folk songs with the help of Ken Woodward (Annie & The Beekeepers) and Pete Pezzimenti titled Love Is All Around. Davidson's pure voice and fingerpicked guitars alongside slide guitar, singing saw and bouncy rhythms give the songs a light, airy and almost tropical feel at times. It's a wholly pleasing listen, introspective and fun at the same time - great for those times that you want something mellow but still uplifting.
One of the clear highlights for me is "I'll Be Fooled Again", a flat-out gorgeous rumination on loss and one of my favorite songs of the year. Listen/download below and watch a beautiful live performance captured by Possum Den Productions.
The album seems to only be available by mail for now, but go to the band's myspace page for ordering details.
