Judging by this lot, 2024 is already shaping up to be a great year for new music. I know we always say that – but that’s because it’s true, as conclusively proved here by the likes of Rosali, Nadine Shah, Julia Holter, Jane Weaver and Real Estate.
There are also welcome returns for Uncut legends The Jesus And Mary Chain, Pernice Brothers, High Llamas, A Certain Ratio and Bruce Hornsby (teaming up productively with chamber-funk outfit yMusic), while you can expect to read more about the likes of Oisin Leech, Faye Webster and Whitelands in our pages very soon.
Thanks to all the musicians who continue to excite and inspire, despite challenging conditions. Please continue to support them in all the usual ways, after digging in below…
