This week's featured track is delivered by Hidden Shoal's Tim Clarke. It's a gorgeous track and a lovely little tale of how we snared Tim into the fold.

Back in 2006, when Hidden Shoal was in its infancy and before I came on board, I reviewed a few of the releases for Norwegian e-zine Luna Kafe. My Majestic Star's <em>Ideas Are The Answer</em> was one of these albums, of which 'Coffee Stains and Beer' is the stunning opening track. It immediately put me in the same space as Papa M's Live From A Shark Cage, which is one of my favourite albums of all time. 'Coffee Stains and Beer' is a close relative of Shark Cage's opener 'Arundel'. Chris Mason has such a deft melodic sensibility and restraint in this song, comparable to Dave Pajo – which is a massive compliment! When I heard this song, it put things into perspective: a small label based in Perth were releasing stuff that stood up against some of the best music I've ever heard. I had to get involved.
