The 29th Uncut Playlist Of 2012

Another issue in the bag, and these are the records that have got us through the last couple of days of production. Mostly very good, with a few probably glaring exceptions.

The mystery album from last week’s list I can now reveal to be The XX’s “Coexist”. What else? The Sic Alps record is increasingly excellent, I think, as is Takoma vet Harry Taussig’s first in 47 years. The transition from Taussig’s American primitive guitar into Azealia Banks’ new free mixtape was not the smoothest mood segue, it’s fair to say…
