Starts with Billy Childish’s seriously weighty new folk direction, ends with the guy from Sleaford Mods going in what I would consider a miles better direction than usual. Goes via dark country, exotica, trippy weird electro, indie pop, garage and noise rock, glitchy hip-hop (very glitchy actually).
Highlights: Something from Third Man’s reissue of that dog. (who I had never heard of) which has that instantly warm 90s alt rock vibe, and something from the RSD Nancy Sinatra release (which despite being a bit Lee and Nancy guy I had also never heard). Quakers’ incredibly inventive beats (of which there are hundreds more equally good) and Providence noise rockers Doomsday Student (who James Acaster described in his great podcast as being total chaos but I found instantly catchy and likeable - go figure).
