After teasing the excellent Arbouretum and Wooden Wand albums for a week or two, a couple of songs have turned up on Bandcamp that I’ve linked to here (Just click on the listings). Still nothing from that wonderful Joan Shelley record with Tweedy and his gang, unfortunately.
Other stuff worth flagging up: the Jarvis and Gonzales concept album about the Chateau Marmont (scene, right by the pool and near the Belushi bungalow, of one of my strangest interviews back in the ‘90s); Matt Jencik cloudy ambience; and a couple of great new live sets from faithful retainers Hiss Golden Messenger (Back on the road after a seasonal pause) and Ryley Walker (in exploratory improv mode, jousting again with Bill Mackay). Been a while since I mentioned this caveat, but it seems salient this week: the playlist is just a document of music we listened to in the Uncut office – inclusion doesn’t automatically mean we liked it (though mostly, of course, we did)…
