As we enjoy the bright, autumnal calm of that grace period between Halloween mania and early-onset Christmas panic, what better time to take delivery of another truckload of terrific new music? 2022 is already giving us the eye, with Elvis Costello, Spiritualized, Animal Collective, Cate Le Bon, Rokia Koné and Hurray For The Riff Raff announcing new albums for the early months of next year – you can hear early sighters from all of those below. But 2021 isn’t finished yet, with the likes of Curtis Harding, Margo Cilker and Robin Guthrie all releasing Uncut-recommended records in the coming...
Iconic Canadian rock band Thor has made a heavily noticed return in the scene with the release of a 2D animation music video for the epic rock single “Queen Of The Spiders,” featuring Frank Soda, written and produced by Jon Mikl Thor and long time collaborator Kevin Stuart Swain, and released via Cleopatra/Deadline Records. “Queen Of The Spiders” is a song off the band’s most recent album, Alliance. It is Jon Mikl Thor’s love of comic books, as well as the fact that a few had featured him in the past, that gave the band the strong desire to...

“It all started when Roger Waters and Nick Mason saw a film I’d done in 1971 called Long Drawn Out Trip, which was shown on BBC2. They both decided that they wanted me on board, because, as Roger told me, they thought I was ‘fucking mad’. I was a bit befuddled initially because I didn’t really know their music – I was a political cartoonist. But I bought a leather jacket and some jeans, which was about as rock’n’roll as I ever got, and met them at Nick’s house in Kentish Town. All four of them were there. It...
A sign of how quickly the folk, country and “baroque and roll” of The Beau Brummels entered mainstream consciousness came with their appearance in a 1965 episode of The Flintstones. Billed, almost inevitably, as The Beau Brummelstones and sporting plum-coloured, turtleneck prehistoric garb, the San Francisco five-piece had been together less than 18 months when their animated versions took to the stage of the Bedrock A-Go-Go nightclub to perform Laugh, Laugh.

It’s a safe bet the scale of The War On Drugs’ success has blindsided even Adam Granduciel. He’s no low achiever – after all, his exacting standards brought on a nervous breakdown during the making of their breakthrough, Lost In The Dream – but for him satisfaction is something else. If the No 10 Billboard spot and Grammy Award for 2017’s A Deeper Understanding were gratifying, they were not his goals. ORDER NOW: David Bowie is on the cover of the December 2021 issue of Uncut Granduciel’s striving has always been for something unidentified and forever out of reach. That...
What a time it was, 50 years ago and more, when Joni strode to power, part of a musical royalty whose clarions shouted dominion over a broad Earth. Fans waited, breath bated, for the latest album/bulletin from lives lived in luxurious wonder. Hearth ballads for McLuhan’s global campfire. Picaresques and intrigues from the fabled Canyon came alive in the music she made between 1968 and ’71, as the poet collapsed sideways into the pop star. Songs are barely concealed public missives (pigeon-posted tweets?) between friends and lovers, minstrels-in-arms and the hopelessly love-smitten. ORDER NOW: David Bowie is on the cover...
Despite a run of consistently fine releases since first making his mark nearly 20 years ago, Hayes Carll has never quite received the credit that his talent demands. Maybe it’s his low-key demeanour, perhaps it’s the disregard for showiness, or it could be the simple fact that he’s operating in an increasingly overcrowded field. But at his best, as on 2011’s pithy KMAG YOYO (& Other American Stories) or 2019’s Dualtone debut What It Is, the Texan singer-songwriter invites comparisons to Guy Clark or Jerry Jeff Walker. ORDER NOW: David Bowie is on the cover of the December 2021 issue...
