In his review of REST IN BASS, the excellent new album by young Atlanta rapper Che, Eden Tizard described how on one track the “beat is cut up with what sounds like gravel blowing its nose” – can you validate this excellent wordplay by listening to the record via this month’s subscriber exclusive playlist? In well over four hours of music, you can not just get snotty aggregate rap but also tracks by Wevie Stunder, DJ Haram, Pharaoh Overlord, $ilk Money, Siavash Amini, Gwenno, Laibach, The Lijadu Sisters, Yves Tumor with Nina, Blood Orange, Daphni, Nilüfer Yanya, The Armed, Marissa Nadler, Gina Birch, Kae Tempest, Jessica Winter, Animal Collective, Factory Floor, FKA Twigs, Rian Traynor, Neko Case, Fever Ray and much more. A reminder that this month’s top two tier bonus editorial was Luke and John discussing David Cronenberg’s Crash on the Low Culture Podcast, a Low Culture Essay by Ian Wade on revolutionary LGBT+ drama Queer As Folk, and the Organic Intelligence newsletter on the UK post-industrial diaspora. Thanks to all of our subscribers for keeping The Quietus on the road, and we hope you’re having an excellent summer. We of course hope the rest of you are too, but we’d make those wishes even warmer if you’re not a subscriber and fancy joining in – you can become a subscriber here. Playlists are below the paywall.
