As part of your many, many perks for becoming a Quietus subscriber, we’re compiling a specially-curated, playlist for our readers every month.

Across more than five hours of music, you’ll find pure bangers from Xtasis and Conjunto Primitivo, high profile returns from The Mars Volta and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, absolute evisceration from Diamanda Galas, the best of the world’s experimental fringes, plus the picks of our Rum Music, metal, electronic and punk columns and more!

On top of all that, don’t forget that as a subscriber you also get links to our regular specially curated ‘Organic Intelligence’ playlists, exploring the weirdest and wonderfullest musical niches, from the Swiss underground to Latvian Cosmic Pop!

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 John Doran and Luke Turner and is live now, as are heaps of exclusive releases for our Sound & Vision tier members from none other than Hey Colossus, Vanishing Twin, Jo Bevan, Teleplasmiste, Sleaford Mods, Better Corners, Alisson Cotton, Siavash Amini Nik Void, Alex Tucker, and GNOD vs JK Flesh, and exclusive essays on Crusader Kings 3, The X-Files, why Dean and Gene Ween are the greatest songwriters since Lennon and McCartney, Arthur Brown, why sword and sorcery films deserve your respect, and The Wyrd History of Accrington Stanley FC.
