Here’s this week’s selection of new and newish things we’ve played in the Uncut office. My favourite of the fresh arrivals here is the Deradoorian EP, which I’ve finally got hold of, and which may well appeal to people who, like me, struggle with certain aspects of Angel Deradoorian’s regular band, Dirty Projectors.
A quiet week for bigger names, maybe, but some good little things worth checking out – notably Ducktails and The Intelligence – which I’ll try and write more about in the next few days.
