As part of your many, many perks for becoming a Quietus subscriber, we're compiling a specially-curated, playlist for our readers every month. This time it's an XL Xmas edition, taking in everything great we've covered in November and the first few weeks of December, before team tQ take a break until January.

As well as our biggest, this time around is perhaps our most diverse offering so far, ranging from the intensely unsettling Wicker Man-inspired first single from the hugely anticipated upcoming collaborative LP by Gazelle Twin and NYX, to Pharaoh Overlord's extraordinary Italo-Disco-Kraut-Metal-Mania. Elsewhere there's blissful Irish garage from Gemma Dunleavy, the phenomenal new Arab Strap single, a cut from Angel Bat Dawid and Tha Brotherhood's ferocious new live LP, plenty of straight-up bangers from the likes of Currentmoodgirl, Primitive Ignorant, The Bug, Sleaford Mods, GNOD, and everything in between.

On top of all that, don't forget that as a subscriber you also get links to the extra special Albums of the Year and Tracks Of The Year playlists too!

In order to listen to the playlists, you'll need the link - you can become a Quietus Low Culture or Sound & Vision tier subscriber here. And FYI, the playlist is but one of the perks you could receive as a Quietus Subscriber. Our latest Low Culture podcast features Shirley Collins discussing the Coen brothers film O Brother Where Art Thou? is live now, as are two exclusive releases for our Sound & Vision tier members from none other than Sleaford Mods and GNOD vs JK Flesh respectively, and exclusive essays on the likes of Julian Cope, Billy Joel and Knightmare. More is being announced very soon indeed, and rest assured it's not to be missed. Access your playlists below the Steady paywall here:
