Mmm, Zesty!

I could pretend that I'm being super generous and providing two posts today because I'm that kind of person.
 
The reality is that I had a very long day (and week) at work, I didn't get to finish today's planned post last night and I didn't have enough time first thing this morning to complete it to my satisfaction. Yes, I'm really that kind of person...
 
The good news is that I've got the day off work so I will get to finesse and finish the item for a special second post around lunchtime (UK). After all the hype and build up, I'll hope you'll agree it was worth the wait!
 
In the meantime, this happy accident gives me an opportunity to post music by electronic pop duo Beck Pocket aka Viv Griffin and Jasper Clarke.  There is a connection to today's main post, but this one can be enjoyed in its own right.
 
Beck Pocket have been releasing music since 2022, available for purchase via Bandcamp and with some fun lyric videos posted on YouTube. The songs are glitchy, skitty pop gems that never outstay their welcome and are loaded with hooks. It's like The xx whooping with delight on the Pirate Falls water ride at Legoland. Then putting it in a song. Kind of.

If this generally isn't your thing, Beck Pocket may not win you over, but their charm and nascent pop nous is hard to deny.
 
 
See you back here later for the main event...
