tQ’s Exclusive Monthly Round-Up Playlist: August 2023

Here's a playlist of everything we've covered at The Quietus this month, compiled for the listening pleasure of tQ's subscribers

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 three hours of music, you’ll find massive bangers from WaqWaq Kingdom and El Kontessa, bone-rattling noise blasts from 7038634357, the first taste of Kristin Hayter’s new post-Lingua Ignota project, the best of the world’s experimental fringes, plus the picks of our psych, punk and Rum music 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 on Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark and is live now, as are heaps of exclusive releases for our Sound & Vision tier members from none other than Senyawa, Polypores, UKAEA, Oh Baby and Kelley Stoltz, Slow Tree, Petbrick and more, exclusive essays on the likes of The Flashman Papers, Motorhead, Dredd, Slade, The Larry Sanders Show, PJ Harvey, Fatima Mansions and Dad’s Army.
