Another few months, another corker of a playlist for you. This one is a bit more chilled than the last edition
This one has some new discoveries like JW Ridley, Madeline Kenney, W. H. Lung, Amanda Bergman, Tunisian singer Emel Mathlouthi, Soccer Mommy, Photay and Novelty Daughter.
I saw Ry Cooder at The Radio 2 Folk Awards earlier this year and didn't really know who he was. I included a song on a previous playlist but hadn't delved that deep into him. Whilst visiting a friend in Wales, he put on the 'Paris, Texas' soundtrack which it turns out, Cooder did. Now, seemingly, a timely inclusion, following the sad news about Harry Dean Stanton.
The Breeders return, Parquet Courts' Andrew Savage has a solo record, Weyes Blood covers 'Everybody's Talkin', John Maus is back, Mavis Staples reminding me of Sheer Mag, a mini exploration of Jimmy Webb (another oldie I didn't know, that Art Garfunkel one and whoah, MacArthur Park!), Baxter Dury sounding seedy as, OCS are Oh Sees and Weaves bring throat singer Tanya Tagaq onto a track to astounding effect (I happened to see Tagaq live in Canada in 2015 which was my first experience of her).
Other things to mention, there is also a wonderful track by Ray Montgomery from last year (he played in The Pin Group who were on my last playlist) and a very good remix of Ryuichi Sakamoto by Motion Graphics.
