FEATURE:
The September Playlist: Vol. 5
______________________
NOT only is there a spate of brilliant…
new songs and albums out now – and the coming weeks – but some of the old masters have brought out work. David Bowie’s Who Can I Be Now? collates his 1974-‘6 work – showing the shift between Young Americans and Diamond Dogs – during his ‘American Phase’ and the brilliance and transitions of his work. Nirvana’s Nevermind and Primal Scream’s Screamadelica celebrate 25 years of existence; Weezer’s Pinkerton is 20 today. Beck has decided to release his back catalogue on vinyl and we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jimi Hendrix arriving in London. In terms of new music coming through - cuts from Dirty Projectors, Emilie Sande and Fenech-Soler are all included – plus the artists releasing albums in the coming days (or last week) and a lot of sonic goodies. Sit back and enjoy September’s 5th Playlist.
