I always find that songs of this ilk work best on a Sunday, frosty mornings or at any time during the 12 days of Christmas. That’s because despite the sparseness in the instrumentation Hallie Pritts (she is Boca Chica) weaves a warm reassuring blanket through her vocals. ‘Pins and Needles’ is especially brilliant though because it builds up a gentle head of steam in such an organic way you won’t even notice how you’ve abandoned everything else to concentrate on its dynamics. The track is taken from Boca Chica’s superb sophomore ‘Lace Up Your Workboots’ which was released just this last week. A gentle wonderful surprise. KD
