Let A Little Sunlight In
// 28th May
Last week I went and saw Epicure play their last gig in this town, on their farewell tour. It was way back in 2003 that I first heard Armies Against Me on the radio, and in 2004 I bought their second album, The Goodbye Girl. It was one of those albums that I would listen to consistently for over a year, despite the fact I was buying well over an album every week in that period of my life. It remains one of the best albums I have ever heard, and despite never quite reaching those dizzying heights again, Epicure are still one of my very favourite bands.
The aren’t the most amazing live band, but they were solid. And their music just blew me away. Sometimes, like what’s been happening recently, I go through phases where I do things like listening to Lady GaGa (a lot), but when Mr. Alban sung Goodbye Girl a capella during the encore I was again reminded of just where it’s at. After the gig I shook Mr. Alban’s hand and said thank you.
Listen to Epicure, they have an anthology out, but I’d recommend The Goodbye Girl.

its one of my favourite albums too. even though a lot of the lyrics are quite depressing, i still love it.
