Apologies – we’ve been a little preoccupied with putting together something special for our 300th issue next month, hence the lack of new music playlists this year so far. But hopefully this bumper selection makes up for it.
Behold, exciting new stuff from Fontaines DC, Aldous Harding, Cowboy Junkies, The Smile and The Weather Station – all of whom you can read about in the current issue of Uncut, in shops now.
There are also early sighters for new albums from Kurt Vile, Daniel Rossen, Rolling Blackouts CF and Hannah Peel, who we’ve just been chatting to for the following issue. Plus the raucous return of The Afghan Whigs and a tonne of other great music that’s been helping us through the storms. Welcome, belatedly, to our world…
