ACOUSTIC loveliness abounds on Sometimes, the gloriously sunshine filled offering from eclectic collective Merchandise. Dripping in dreamy optimism, the key to this modern love song is its laid-back simplicity. There’s no over the top guitar solos, no frantic drumming session. Instead, Brad B Wood’s pleasantly charming voice does the hard work while his partner in crime, Conrad Astley, tinkles the ivories in an suitably similar manner. A tune to be savoured when and if the summer sun rears its beaming head.
