Playlist 278 - Sept 3 2013

The first show back after the summer recess (and for once we had a summer to speak of), so plenty of new music to catch up on.

And one of the best is new from Limerick band Hidden Highways (pictured below), a beautiful, tremulous cut from their debut album, Old hearts reborn, out next week. I paired it with Shearwater, joined by Sharon Van Etten on guest vocals, another absolute folk showstopper.

Also in there was the delirious glam pop of Jacques Caramac & The Sweet Generation, brilliant; garage rock with brass from King Khan & The Shrines, love it; new music from Manchester's Magic Arm, very catchy; and great to hear new material from Fuxa and Jeffrey Lewis (the latter paying tribute stunningly to Pussy Riot).

Plus three other very impressive new Irish releases, Cork in fact - Saint Yorda playing around very nicely with steel drums and rack toms; The Vincent(s) with another impressive blues howl; and Kevin Murphy, doing something interesting with hushed folk harmonies undercut with a kind of RnB twist.

More on these pages as always.
