A reminder, first off, that the excellent Arbouretum will finally be playing Club Uncut, next Monday, July 27, at the Lexington on Pentonville Road. Full details here, if you’re interested.
Secondly, this week’s playlist. The Unthanks, perhaps obviously, are the renamed Rachel Unthank & The Winterset. “Here’s The Tender Coming” probably sounds like the best new arrival, at this point.
