The 24th Uncut Playlist Of 2009

Apologies for the service interruption last week. I returned to the office yesterday to find a bunch of new things, not least the immense new Sun Araw, which on first listen sounded more or less one of the best things I’ve heard this year – though it might’ve been because it’s music so perfectly suited to this serious heat.

Apologies for the service interruption last week. I returned to the office yesterday to find a bunch of new things, not least the immense new Sun Araw, which on first listen sounded more or less one of the best things I’ve heard this year – though it might’ve been because it’s music so perfectly suited to this serious heat.

In other news, the James Ferraro reissues are transportingly lovely; I’m slowly warming to the Arctic Monkeys album; and Antony Hegarty’s one trick is, surely, way past its sell-by date if this Jo Whiley-friendly Beyoncé massacre is anything to go by. Will write about good records soon, I promise.
