The ever-dapper Jarvis Cocker has put together a free album of field recordings from National Trust sites around the UK, with the captured sounds including wind whooshing through a clock tower in Norwich and stairs creaking in Kent. Also it will apparently help you concentrate! Which is a tall order in these overstimulated times, but if there’s one man I trust to craft something to hold my attention, it’s Jarvis. [Via]
