You may have already seen today’s big news – there’s a new New Order song in the wild – though we’re equally excited by the returns of Gwenifer Raymond, Actress, Todd Rundgren (teaming up unexpectedly but seamlessly with rapper Narcy), Negativland and a whole new album-length EP from William Tyler.
Also on today’s agenda: underrated soul legends William Bell and Steve Arrington, molten freakouts from The Heliocentrics and Carlton Melton, plus Hot Chip covering The Velvet Underground. Meanwhile fans of lap steel-based bliss-outs are in for a treat…
