We’re nearly at the end of a big year for The Quietus, with our regeneration done and dusted, readership going up, and yet more of our readers signing up to become subscribers – the support that we rely on to keep the lights on and keep paying our writers. We wanted to thank everyone who has already made the leap from reader to supporter by doing a bonus playlist this month, in the form of all the music featured in our Tracks of the Year list, which you can find here. This is in addition to the Albums of the Year playlist that went out at the start of the month, with a third playlist covering all the music we wrote about in November and December coming towards the New Year. As well as these playlists (the archive of which can be found here), Subscriber tier members receive our exclusive Low Culture essays, the Low Culture podcast, and Organic Intelligence genre guide newsletter each month. Subscriber Plus members get all that plus a musical release from one of our favourite artists each month. If you’re not already a subscriber, you can become one here.
There’s still some more subscriber exclusive goodness remaining this month – the Low Culture Essay by Travis Elborough on 1970s BBC darts documentary Arrows will be coming this week, an Organic Intelligence newsletter on Christmas doo-wop just before the big day, and then for Subscriber Plus tier members an exclusive live set from our Albums of the Year chart toppers Ex-Easter Island Head, recorded at the 2024 Acid Horse festival.
Our endless gratitude is due to everyone who has supported The Quietus in recent years – the site would not exist without you. Now, without further ado, the four hours of music in each of our playlists can be found below the paywall.
