Serial killer thriller from Fight Club's David Fincher

On the intro tape, Johnny Cash's austerely remorseless "The Man Comes Around" sets the mood, then Colin MacIntyre's men come pounding out of the traps.

Featuring Gruff Rhys, Sleater-Kinney, Sufjan Stevens, Sarah Davachi, Bruce Springsteen and more

Cass McCombs, Beth Orton, Dry Cleaning, Moor Mother, Courtney Marie Andrews, Julia Jacklin and more

I hope you had a good Bank Holiday break. I spent a very enjoyable chunk of it reading the new Carl Hiaasen novel – excuse the shameless self-promotion, but you can read an interview I did with Hiaasen over on my blog. But now we’re back in the office, and it’s my pleasure to introduce you all to the new issue of Uncut, which goes on sale tomorrow.
