Top 10 Albums of 2006: No. 2

2.         Jonquil – Sunny Casinos

In early autumn, this was the album I listened to as I fell asleep. It is perfect as a lullaby album, with the gentle guitars and quiet voices that rise and fall slowly. At times, everything is so gentle that even the vocals fade into the background accompaniment. But what makes this album so special is the way that it sounds so fully formed and timeless, and especially since it was produced as a bedroom project in Oxford.
