Download "Falling for You" by The Soundcarriers. (Right-click or control-click to save to your computer.)
The four members of The Soundcarriers all grew up together in the Nottingham area in England, and it's easy to hear the Britpop and rock influences on their new album, Harmonium. When they were teenagers, they started off playing mostly improvised instrumental music together, but eventually moved into more psychedelic territory with vocal pieces. Harmonium is full of rich washes of gorgeous sound with some fantastic grooves and bass lines. It's also got an expansive, cinematic feel to it, which isn't surprising since the group claims to be inspired in part by film soundtracks — particularly the work of John Barry, who did the Midnight Cowboy score, among others.
This track, from The Soundcarriers and Harmonium, is called "Falling for You." Give it a second to get going. It starts off with a really slow fade in.
