The 48th Uncut Playlist Of 2008

Just arrived this morning and straight onto the stereo, a new album from Beirut, that seems to consist of half recordings with a 19-piece Mexican funeral band, and half bedroom synthpop. I’m not sure what the synthpop’s going to be like, but it’s started well.

Just arrived this morning and straight onto the stereo, a new album from Beirut, that seems to consist of half recordings with a 19-piece Mexican funeral band, and half bedroom synthpop. I’m not sure what the synthpop’s going to be like, but it’s started well.

I’ll report back on the whole album in the next few days, I imagine. In the meantime, here’s this week’s collection of records played in the Uncut office. Something of a glut of intense Australians, it seems.
