The 9th Uncut Playlist Of 2015

29 key records played in the Uncut office this week…

Trending Now

A quick reminder, first, that our new Ultimate Music Guide on Kate Bush has arrived in the shops on this beautiful – in London, at least, -spring morning.

We have just done our inadvertent best to smash that mood of vernal optimism in the office by digging into the infernal drones of Jimmy Page’s “Lucifer Rising” score, from his new, none-more-black “Soundtracks” collection. Plenty here, though, of sunnier intent, not least Rob St John’s lulling “Surface Tension”, drawn in part from sound recordings of the wonderful River Lea, and the dramatic, kinetic new Holly Herndon album. See what you can find from this selection…
