It’s deadline day at Uncut, but I’ve been somewhat distracted by playing Morrisssey Autobiography lucky dip. Michael’s working his way through it in a more organised and assiduous fashion, and will be posting something later in the day, with a prevailing wind.
As for music, lots to play here. Let me gently steer you towards the Howard Ivans track, which is one of the Spacebomb projects that Matthew E White has been sitting on for God knows how long, and which shows the Spacebomb crew’s arranging virtuosity can stretch to elaborate symphonic funk in the vein of Quincy Jones. Impressive.
Also worth checking out: a very promising taster of the Linda Perhacs comeback; the best Bowie track of the year; the Necks album, which has become my default album every single morning; and, again, Courtney Barnett, who I’ve now decided reminds me of Liz Phair signed to the Half A Cow label. “Avant Gardener” is really stuck in my head at the moment, and I’m OK with that.
