Like I said yesterday, lots of new bands have caught my ear lately, and this is one of them. Not necessarily a full-on band, per se, Ampersand are the result of an unusual studio collaboration between Adam Ritchie & Alexander Mahdavi after they originally met through an advertisement for studio time posted on eBay by Alex. Apparently the London duo proceeded to record  a song over one weekend per month and the resulting collection of ten songs was 'released' as the CD Schadenfreude Blue. (For the record, schadenfreude is a German term meaning “pleasure taken from someone else's misfortune”)  The song I've chosen for The Happy Medium Song of the Day is called “Your Perfect Eyes.” It reminds me of lots of other songs I've heard and yet still manages to sound fresh and new.
