The 43rd Uncut Playlist Of 2017

Strong selection this week...

Trending Now

Some great 2018 things turning up more or less every day at the moment, most notably this week the Red River Dialect and Brigid Mae Power albums that are scheduled for February. Also here is fine new music from Björk, Tomaga, I’m With Her (that’s Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz and Aoife O’Donovan), and a live album from the mighty Heron Oblivion.

Also, you’ll note we’ve had a serious ECM binge, to mark the label turning up this week on Spotify and other streaming platforms. You can find lots of recommendations for tracks in my Twitter mentions (Thank you to everyone who contributed): favourite discoveries thus far are the Julian Priester, Bengt Berger and Paul Giger records below. Any more tips, please share!
