#151: Cheval Sombre - Days Go By
Days Go By was Cheval Sombre’s second album of 2021, arriving just a couple of months after Time Waits for No One. Maybe because of that I do find it hard not to think of them as one double album, they are different, Days Go By feels a little lighter in tone, but they are still clearly related.
The relationship to Time Waits for No One is clear, and it’s more than just the timing - the sleeve artwork is similar, and it uses the same guests and contributors. Given my love of a gatefold sleeve I sort of maybe wish it was a double LP.
Cheval Sombre is probably going to be the sixth most posted artist in this series and the highest placed not to have once been a member of Galaxie 500.
The top ten probably looks something like this (although it’s a bit muddled because of collabs and my weird definitions):
- Luna
- Galaxie 500
- Damon & Naomi
- Dean & Britta
- Dean Wareham
- Cheval Sombre
- Magic Hour
- The Pastels
- Fuxa
- Cagney & Lacee
