Thanks from all of us at tQ to all those who subscribe to the site, and have supported another month of examining and celebrating the best new music, new and old. A quick reminder that those in the Subscriber Plus tier are getting new bonus playlists we’re sending out to give a sonic accompaniment to our features. Last month, they came from Hüsker Du, Severed Heads, Galaxie 500, Chicks On Speed, Soulwax and Mulatu Astatke, with along with the Baker’s Dozen selections of Sudan Archives and Ron Mael. These can all be found, with their accompanying editorial, here. This month our round-up playlist contains four-and-a-half hours of music, including Rosalía’s stunning collaboration with Björk and Yves Tumor, Lankum’s cover of ‘Ghost Town’, alongside The Soft Pink Truth, Hey Colossus, Bruise Blood, Jerskin Fendrix, HAAi, Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Lily Allen, The Utopia Strong, Sunn O))), Kara-Lis Coverdale and much more. Last month our Subscriber and Subscriber Plus tier members also received the Low Culture Podcast on Brian Eno’s Another Green World, a Low Culture Essay on Michael Mann’s The Keep, and our Organic Intelligence on the music on Southend avant-rock. And a reminder – it’s just under a month until we’ll be sending out the epic Quietus Album of the Year playlist, a listening treasure trove that wouldn’t exist without the readers who fund The Quietus’ continued survival. The playlists can be found below the paywall, if you’re not already a subscriber you can join up here.
