It’s been far too long since we’ve done one of these, a terrible oversight for which we apologise profusely. Hopefully this bumper crop of superb new tunes will help make up the shortfall.
As always, there’s a tonne of excellent new music here: a standalone single from the incomparable White Denim; Joan Shelley and Nathan Salsburg covering a song from the Superwolves album; Laura Marling at her poppiest; the returns of Matthew E White and Mega Bog; and plenty of lesser-known delights, including an astonishing performance from Korean duo Dal:um. Enjoy!
