Robin's Egg is the latest release from Iron & Wine aka Samuel Ervin Beam, presumably (and hopefully) ahead of a new album - the 11th - this year.
Robin's Egg is a delightful three minutes of acoustic-driven pop, swirling organ and driving rhythm, with three-part vocal harmonies from I'm With Her that combine to create a comforting cuddle of a song.
There's a lovely animated video from Liz Breit to boot.
What better way to spend a buck?
Those in the UK of a certain vintage, like me, may have been immediately been reminded of the equally jaunty theme tune to late 1970s sitcom Robin's Nest.
The 30-odd second instrumental was written by it's principle star, Richard O'Sullivan.
in 1993, when Lawrence Hayward launched new band Denim in to the world with debut single Middle Of The Road, I was delighted to find his own singular version of the tune, extended by nearly four times but still coming in at under two minutes.
