You may have noticed that it’s raining today and is likely to carry on doing so for the entire weekend, which strikes me as being a major pain in the arse for those of you venturing outside for fireworks.

For the moderately bright ones among you who decide to stay inside this soggy weekend, I present to you a gift (albeit a free one you could have got elsewhere); here are three tracks from Brian Eno’s new album Small Craft On A Milk Sea.

Please listen to the examples of brilliance below, and should you like them enough consider buying the album. This isn’t that straight forward in the UK, as the official release date is not until the 15th of this month, however you can pre-order it by following this link, or if you’re clever enough there are ways to download it directly from Eno’s website.

Have a nice weekend.
