A quirky, beautiful reminder that endless scrolling is secondary to real love, in the form of folky, analogue, acoustic duet between from a member of Britain’s Waterson-Knight-Carthy clan and the the Australian singer. The song is taken from their collaborative album from this year, A Window To Other Ways. We’re all seeking little hits of the chemical that make happiness, but of course these aren’t always found by endless scrolling. The album is out on One Little Indian and can also be found on Bandcamp.
