Last week, after a twelve and a half hour work day, I ended up bailing on the St. Vincent show at Mercy Lounge due to exhaustion and lack of familiarity with her work. I made the mistake of twittering about this and loads of people replied to me that I was a fool for not sticking around to catch the brilliance of Annie Clark. Fortunately, Lake Fever Sessions put together this session earlier that afternoon so I’m able to experience what I was missing out on to some degree.

Following up on their most enjoyable debut, The French EP, The Champion and His Burning Flame have released Song & Film – their score to the independently released film The Time Closet. The majority of the album is instrumental in nature (it is a score after all) but the bands penchant for strings, handclaps and epic pop leanings makes for a compelling listen, even without having seen the movie it accompanies. Digital versions of the twenty tracks of goodness can be purchased on their official site for a mere $5. Worth every penny.
