As one of your many, many perks for becoming a Quietus subscriber, we’re compiling a specially-curated, playlist for our readers every month. Given that last month’s playlist was handed over to the Albums Of The Year playlist, and that it’d be a shame to brush over the wealth of excellent music that came in throughout the last few weeks of the year, this edition serves as a bumper round-up taking in all of November and December.
Across four hours of music, you’ll find crushing noise from The Body and Sly & The Family Drone, some vintage cuts from Throbbing Gristle and Bill Callahan’s Smog, boundary-pushing takes on tradition from Stick In The Wheel, Norman&Corrie and Tarta Relena, the best of the world’s experimental fringes, plus the picks of our metal, punk, Rum Music and psych rock 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 under-the-radar Italian pulp film soundtracks to noise in 2020s Tokyo.
In order to listen to the playlists, you’ll need the link – you can join our Subscriber or Subscriber Plus tiers 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 Derek Jarman’s Blue and is live now, as are heaps of exclusive releases for our Sound & Vision tier members from none other than The None, Nurse With Wound and Thee Alcoholics, exclusive essays on the likes of the Eric Bristow darts documentary Arrows, Kathleen Hanna’s Julie Ruin, the BBC’s 1981 The Lord Of The Rings adaptation, Japanese denim, Better Things, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, Cardiacs, and more. More is being announced very soon indeed, and rest assured it’s not to be missed. Access your playlists below the Steady paywall here:
