Some logical excitement here this week about the impending Leonard Cohen and Aphex Twin albums; in the event you’ve missed it these past couple of days, you can hear Cohen’s superb “Almost Like The Blues” further down this blog.

Worth noting, though, some strong business from more marginal names here as well, including the first leaked track from the amazing Chris Forsyth & The Solar Motel Band album I alluded to last week. After whingeing about it last week, I have something from Bing & Ruth’s ambient/classical gem for you to hear, and I’m going to flag up Khun Narin Electric Phin Band’s upcountry Thai psych again. Recommended, too: the lovely EP from Landless, an all-female a capella folk quartet from Dublin, which was plugged a couple of nights back in a tweet from Cian Nugent; plus the Earth album, which has bedded in at a suitably monolithic pace.

Haven’t added one of these stern caveats for a while, but I should say that not every one of these records comes unambiguously endorsed. The playlist is merely a list of things we’ve played, for good or ill, in the Uncut office over the last couple of days. As you were.
