This song from Animal Tales, the new album by the incomparable Key Wilde & Mr. Clarke is my absolute favorite kindie tune of the moment. And that moment is going on 4 weeks old. There’s something quietly seductive about that Spanish acoustic lead guitar, dancing eloquently in the gaps, as a Spanish guitar is known to do. I can’t stop hearing it long after the song is over which is good, really, because I don’t want it out of my ears.
I played “Armando Armadillo” on the November episode of the OWTK Kid’s Music Monthly podcast and now there’s a Brady Bunch meets Frogger-style illustrated video for it direct from the drawing table of the very talented Mr. Key Wilde himself.
Enjoy Key Wilde and Mr. Clarke’s “Armando Armadillo” music video:
Also, can we talk about just how lovely that script font is on the Animal Tales album cover. My lordy, I love it.
And now consider buying the damn thing! This song, and the album from which it comes, is wonderful.
