"My guitar is missing a string..."
I think Honeycut's The Day I Turned to Glass [1] may be one of my favorite albums of the year. It's just so clean, so impeccable, so very white soul, so Scritti Politti/Phoenix/George Michael/late-period Orange Juice/ABC. As a point of reference, my favorite moments on the album remind me a lot of Phoenix's Alphabetical, one of the best albums of the past couple of years.
And there are so many great moments to choose from! The effete Scritti-esque ballads, like "Butter Room" and "Silky"; the playful funk groove of "Crowded Avenue"; the very Spandau Ballet-esque "Exodus Honey"; &c. Every day I get another couple of seconds of song stuck in my head, and it's always a different song. And every time, that little song snippet makes me happy.
