MP3: The Hermit Crabs - Friends Folk Festival
(Glasgow, 2:49 mins, 127 kbps, 2.6MB)

A 5 piece Scottish Indiepop band with folk nudgings towards the upbeat rather than revolutionary; an arts fair instead of a guerilla war. The Hermit Crabs are walking (perhaps sideways) on rainbow steps of guitar lines, walking a few feet above you - not looking you in the eyes. It is cute; but it’s so smooth and comfortable, you won’t be concerned when this flood of soulful Scottish pop music pours into your very mind.

Radiohead’s album In Rainbows is being released physically on New Year’s Eve. Therefore it can’t be anyone’s best album on 2008. It seems pretty sure to dominate this years lists though, and it just wouldn’t be fair for it to dominate for 2 years straight.
