Though it was released only last year, Richard Hawley’s Cole’s Corner fills you with a nostalgia of times long past past similar to all those classic films of the late 40s and early 50s.

Early morning, late night, studying… I haven’t been able to get enough of this album lately. Take the minimalist dance music of the Junior Boys, mix in some Phil Collins-esque vocals, and you’ve got Nicolas Makelberge. From the new album, Dying in Africa:
