Anyone attending this year’s arena tour by The Libertines would have sighted Jack Jones (left, centre), frontman of new wave-minded Swansea trio TRAMPOLENE, performing his poetry in the support slot, including stanzas from To Be A Libertine, a work exploring the singular psychology of the headliners and their fans. The poem appears on the Tramps’ Pocket Album Four, the latest in a series of mini-LPs that have also stirred John Cooper Clarke with their noir-ish, combustible rock’n’roll songs about actor Tom Hardy, kissing with alcohol breath and more. “I live for the truth,” says the indelibly romantic Jones. “It’s the only thing worth dying for.” Pat Gilbert

“Iwas playing in London but not passionate about it,” says percussionist SARATHY KORWAR (left). “Then I heard about the Siddis and thought, I need to meet these guys.” African migrants to southern India, the Siddis inspire Korwar’s solo debut, Day To Day (Ninja Tune). Born in the US, raised in India and London, Korwar studied classical tabla while taking in Western jazz, which informs his LP where he and a quartet of Shabaka Hutchings (horns), Giuliano Modarelli (guitar), Domenico Angarano (bass) and Al MacSween (keys) add ’70s wild jazz to the ancient music of the Sidi Troupe of Ratanpur.
