We’ve just dispatched another top-quality issue of Uncut to the printers – if we do say so ourselves – and while we can’t reveal too much about its contents until next week, this playlist of our current raves should give you a few clues. 

There’s more from the superb Beth Gibbons solo album; the auspicious return of Fontaines DC; a scorching live performance from Mdou Moctar; a new single from Cassandra Jenkins, one of the smartest new singer-songwriters of recent years; the first sighting of Eiko Ishibashi‘s latest soundtrack; Altın Gün’s last ever tune with singer Merve Daşdemir; and lashings of ambient bliss courtesy of Carlos Niño, Chihei Hatakeyama and SUSS.

Plus! Guided By Voices and Belle And Sebastian doing what they do best, and two appearances by the inspirational Warren Ellis – the first leading Dirty Three’s ecstatic comeback; and the second with Nick Cave, sharing their heart-rending tribute to Amy Winehouse from the Back To Black biopic.
