Both tracks on this single are lifted from Jack Cheshire's third album, Long Mind Hotel released in September 2013, and somehow sound better in isolation.
I found a whole album of the singer's gentle Somerset lilt a little cloying after a while but 8 minutes gives you chance to appreciate the delicate melodies and introspective mood.
"I want to lose this shapeless anguish" he sings on Heavenly Bodies which includes an extended metaphor of life as a garden with a less than fertile soil.
The dreamy, and to my ear superior, b side is Postcard From Sedation in which Cheshire conveys a sense of being disconnected from the hectic pace of the real world and makes it seem like a pleasant state of mind to be in.
