UNCUT PLAYLIST

On the stereo this month...

NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS

Ghosteen

GHOSTEEN LTD Ambient synth washes, falsetto fairytales, magic and loss… the most important artist of our times continues his odyssey into the unknown.

CATE LE BON & BRADFORD COX

Myths 004 EP

MEXICAN SUMMER

Fretful toybox pop cooked up at 2018’s Marfa Myths festival. The Deerhunter man channels a washed-up cowboy; Le Bon regrets wearing a “terrible T-shirt ”.

FIELD MUSIC

Making A New World

MEMPHIS INDUSTRIES Best in a while from the brothers Brewis, its WW1 theme worn loosely to incorporate musings on Dadaism and gender reassignment surgery.

AZAR LAWRENCE

Summer Solstice

JAZZ DISPENSARY

A beatific burst of Braziliantinged spiritual jazz from 1975. A favourite of Kamasi Washington.

LEE ‘SCRATCH’ PERRY & ADRIAN SHERWOOD

Heavy Rain

ON-U SOUND

Puckish dub version of June’s Rainford album, featuring budding upsetter Brian Eno on a track called – yes! – “Here Come The Warm Dreads”.

EL KHAT

Saadia Jefferson

BATIV RECORDS

Tel Aviv’s El Khat take Yemeni folk songs and transform them into vigorous psychedelic stomps, complete with junkyard percussion and bleating sheep.

SPACE DIMENSION CONTROLLER

Love Beyond The Intersect

R&S Disappointed by Ad Astra? Try this concept album about the psychotropic adventures of a stranded astronaut, set to poignant deep-space house music.

BOARDS OF CANADA

Peel Session, 1998

WARP

In lieu of any new transmissions from Boc’s highland bunker, we can at least enjoy their one and only radio session, taken from the WXAXRXP box.

SKARBØ SKULEKORPS

Skarbø Skulekorps

HUBRO They’re clearly too old to be an actual school band. But there’s a naive enthusiasm to this curious blend of jazz, country, post-rock and ’80s pop.

TOY Songs Of Consumption

TOUGH LOVE Monochrome Londoners ditch guitars for diseased synthpop covers of Nico, Gainsbourg and The Stooges, plus The Troggs’ “Cousin Jane” made even ickier.
