so nice to hear musicians talk intelligently about their work...more please!
I missed The Swell Season whilst they were here in Melbourne.
This small insight into there songs is lovely. Everyone should listen

I reckon this band (The Frames too) are underrated...the success of the movie and it's one real hit overshadow what's a really solid body of work
