Copeland - You Are My Sunshine (Review)
I don’t really know where to begin with this one. Copeland is a band that I first heard about a year ago from a friend who had just bought their Dressed Up & In Line album. He popped it in the stereo, and I quickly noticed its originality and quiet beauty. From then on, Copeland [...]
