12 tracks I’ve been listening to this week

September 27, 2020

  1. Ludwig Gorannsson, Rainy Night In Tallinn
    From the thrilling opening sequence to Tenet, a scene that is arguably the highlight of the movie.

  2. The Walls, Bone Deep
    You can hear the influence of Beck’s Odelay in this single from their debut album, Hi-Lo released 20 years ago this year.

  3. Ciaran Lavery, Count to Ten (cut remix)
    Lavery makes music that is searingly honest, little more so than his current album Plz Stay, bb.

  4. The Jayhawks, Blue
    Classic from their 1995 Tomorrow The Green Grass LP

  5. Jeff Tweedy, Guess Again
    First single from Tweedy’s forthcoming fourth solo album finds him in fine fettle.

  6. The Green Kingdom, Untitled 2
    Ambient soundscape from US artist Michael Cottone.

  7. Gillian Welch, Beautiful Boy
    Standout track from her gorgeous lost recordings – nearly lost to a tornado.

  8. Spoon, Rainy Taxi (Big Beat)
    Stripped-down rendition as part of their Bandcamp Friday fundraising initiative

  9. Jealous Of The Birds, Young Neanderthal
    Reminds me of the Manic Street Preachers for some reason – from her rather fine and just released second LP, Peninsula.

  10. Matt Berninger, One More Second
    Having grown tired and bored of The National, Matt Berninger is winning me back around with his excellent solo cuts.

  11. Denise Chaila, Copper Bullet
    The artist of the moment – from 2019’s Duel Citizenship EP.

  12. Nils Frahm, Our Own Roof
    Taken from the soundtrack to the unmissable 2015 German movie, Victoria.
