David Kilgour - Slippery Slide

Here's something a little more recent from the Flying Nun family tree. David Kilgour was, of course, the genius behind the Clean, and his half-dozen or so solo albums are also well worth picking up. They don't really sound that much like the Clean; the songs are a bit more somber and, well, "mature" is probably the word most reviewers would use. But his innate pop sensibility still shines through everything he does, and with such exquisite songwriting skills, some of his solo material has been truly breathtaking.

This is from 2002's A Feather in the Engine. A really, really nice song in and of itself...but just listen to that arrangement.
