The 11th Uncut New Music Playlist Of 2020

The Besnard Lakes, Mogwai, Bill Callahan, Julien Baker, Paul Weller and more

Trending Now

The latest issue of Uncut – in shops now or available to buy online by clicking here – is inevitably more retrospective than most, containing as it does our comprehensive musical review of 2020. But those seeking fresh musical adventures shouldn’t be put off – we still review upwards of 50 new albums and throw the spotlight on up-and-coming talents such as Alex Maas and Black Country, New Road.

You can sample their wares below, along with plenty of other tunes we’ve been enjoying over the past couple of weeks: the imminent return of Mogwai, The Besnard Lakes, Julien Baker and Teenage Fanclub bodes well for the start of 2021; Paul Weller and Thundercat get thoroughly remixed; there’s a rare treat in the form of guest rap from the lesser-spotted Andre 3000; while Bill Callahan, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy and Bill McKay emerge triumphant from a tussle with the fiendish chord changes of Steely Dan’s mighty “Deacon Blues”. Enjoy!
