Today’s looking like it might shape up as Stephen Stills day: as I write, we’re on track 16 (“Helplessly Hoping”) of his new career boxset, with 60-odd more to come. Not everything these past few days has been quite so appealing, and as a consequence this week’s playlist is one of those which comes with familiar warnings: while everything here has been listened to in the Uncut office, not all of it comes with a personal endorsement/recommendation. Tread carefully. Especially positive vibes, though, for the MV & EE live set among this week’s new entries, and for the mysterious Number Four, which I’ll hopefully be able to talk about soon… Follow me on Twitter: www.twitter.com/JohnRMulvey 1 The Knife – Full Of Fire (Rabid) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoH6k6eIUS4 2 My Bloody Valentine – Rough Song (Live 27/1/13) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5ZU38NiEvc 3 Stygian Stride – Stygian Stride (Thrill Jockey) 4 5 Karl Hyde – Edgeland (Universal) 6 The Besnard Lakes – Until in Excess, Imperceptible UFO (Jagjaguwar) 7 Billy Bragg – Tooth & Nail (Cooking Vinyl) 8 Liam Hayes – A Glimpse Inside The Mind Of Charles Swan III (Night Fever) 9 Hiss Golden Messenger – Haw (Paradise Of Bachelors) 10 Retribution Gospel Choir – 3 (Chaperone) 11 Harper Simon – Division Street (PIAS) 12 Husker Du – Statues (Numero Group) 13 Aera – Offseason Traveller (Aleph) 14 Various Artists – Delta Swamp Rock Volume 2: More Sounds From The South: At The Crossroads Of Rock, Country And Soul (Soul Jazz) 15 MV & EE – Fantasy Set (Three Lobed) 16 Arbouretum – Live at Prince Albert, Brighton (11/11/12) 17 Lubomyr Melnyk – Corollaries (Erased Tapes) 18 Colin Stetson – High Above A Grey Green Sea (http://soundcloud.com/constellation-records/high-above-a-grey-green-sea) 19 Stephen Stills – Carry On (Rhino)
