Bop Shop: Kate Bush Edition

To be a Kate Bush fan within the early 2000s was to dwell by way of a drought. Bush hadn’t launched an album since 1993’s The Crimson Footwear, and we had been starting to marvel if our Cornwall queen would ever present us with new music. In 2005, she lastly launched her double album, Aerial, and it didn’t disappoint. She began the brand new period with the groovy and moody lead single, “King of the Mountain,” and stored it kooky with songs like “Pi,” the place she sang the numerical digits of pi. However it’s “Sundown,” a piano ballad midway by way of Aerial’s second disc, that actually encapsulates the great thing about the gathering. Simply while you assume the track will soothe you into a beautiful slumber, it turns into an upbeat guitar quantity, with Bush dwelling out her flamenco fantasy. —Chris Rudolph
