Even though January’s always a bit of a quiet month for releases we’ve still got a fair wedge of music for our Subscribers to kick off 2026, with the playlist featuring the likes of MPTL Microplastics, Knats, Denzel Curry, Dry Cleaning, The Soft Pink Truth, Craven Faults, Qasu, Peaches, Jane Weaver, Zu, Sleaford Mods, Lightning Bolt, Megadeth, Thundercat, Bruce Springsteen, Robyn and Shackleton is below. Our Subscriber Plus members also have access to bonus playlists – the music from Peaches and Mike Dirnt of Green Day’s Baker’s Dozens, artist guides to go with the Strange Worlds Of David Berman and Toumani Diabaté, the Low Culture Essay on Susumu Yokota, the Quietus Interview with Powell, and the International column on the artists struggling on against a hostile government in Georgia. You can find those here, and if you’re not already a supporter and want to join you can do so here. Nab the music below the paywall:
