Elvis Costello Deluxe Ultimate Music Guide
As he prepares to tour his fine new album The Boy Named If, we celebrate the 40-plus-year career of Elvis Costello. The savage lyricism. The wiry rock’n’roll. The dalliances with classical music, soul and jazz. It’s tough to know which to praise highest, so we’ll do as Elvis does and cover the lot: “We’re only living this instant…” Buy a copy here!

Thom Yorke performed an acoustic set Saturday night (April 9) at Zeltbühne in Zermatt, Switzerland – see clips from the show below. ORDER NOW: Paul McCartney is on the cover in the latest issue of Uncut During the 23-track unplugged set, the singer-songwriter delivered solo renditions of Radiohead songs “Bodysnatchers”, “Daydreaming”, “Decks Dark” and “Exit Music (For A Film)” for the very first time.

Wet Leg Wet Leg
The breakthrough British guitar band of last year, Wet Leg created an inescapable earworm with their debut single “Chaise Longue” and its surreal, sunny, self-directed video. After their former folk-tinged project fizzled out in 2019, Isle Of Wight duo Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers adopted a new name and sound with the intention of making music that was emphatically fun, “goofy and a little bit rude”. Signing to indie hit-maker label Domino, home of Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand, they struck a perfect mood-lifting chord for the end of Covid lockdown, selling out their riotous live shows and even...
Pavement Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal
When Pavement split after touring their fifth album, it was hardly a surprise. They’d always been a strange entity, not really a band at all in the conventional sense. Formed by Stephen ‘SM’ Malkmus and Scott ‘Spiral Stairs’ Kannberg, two Stockton, California friends into hardcore and the gonzo surrealism of The Fall and Captain Beefheart, they were on shaky foundations from the beginning: after recording their first EP, Slay Tracks 1933-1969, Malkmus took off to Europe, leaving Kannberg to release it, and was surprised to find a finished copy in a record store on his travels. After success came,...
Father John Misty Chloë and the Next 20th Century
A lot needs to be unpacked whenever a new Father John Misty record arrives – that’s the case even when it’s one as good as Chloë And The Next 20th Century, an album of lovelorn orchestral melancholia spiced with the traditional dollop of cynicism. When Misty appeared on the scene with his 2012 debut Fear Fun – one of Uncut’s 300 best albums of the past 25 years – he felt intoxicatingly fresh. There were winding melodies, good looks, a great voice, witty lyrics and playful interviews where he carefully laid out the central conceit: Father John Misty as...
Daniel Rossen You Belong There
You Belong There is Daniel Rossen’s first ever full-length solo album. But, as the saying goes, it’s taken him a lifetime to get here. For some 20 years, Rossen has been a member of Grizzly Bear, the orchestral Brooklyn troupe who smartened up the city after The Strokes’ rock’n’roll reign, pioneering a wave of literate, sonically sumptuous indie rock in their wake. Grizzly Bear released five studio albums, won acclaim from the likes of Radiohead – Johnny Greenwood declared them his favourite band – and spawned a side-project of sorts in the shape of Department Of Eagles, which Rossen...

Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway Crooked Tree
Crooked Tree feels like the album singer-songwriter Molly Tuttle was destined to make. Her previous two solo releases – 2019 debut When You’re Ready and all-covers effort …but i’d rather be with you – carried traces of the music she grew up with, but now she’s fully immersed herself in the bluegrass so beloved of her father Jack (like Tuttle, a skilled multi-instrumentalist) and her banjo-playing grandfather. ORDER NOW: Paul McCartney is on the cover in the latest issue of Uncut In addition to her live band, Golden Highway, she’s also joined here by a crack studio collective that includes...Recent Posts
