Playlist 288 - Nov 12 2013

A few themes on this week's show, kicking off with the garage pop two-punch of Dott and Crystal Stilts. Mmm.

SlowPlaceLikeHome plays Cork tomorrow and Keith Mannion of SPLH I know is partial to a bit of Connan Mockasin, who is doing the filthiest impression of Prince since Prince was Prince.

Then husband and wife, kind of. The wonderful Britta Phillips guest sings on the last song of the latest Fuxa album, brilliantly refashioning the Mike Nesmith classic 'Different drum' (seguing from Randall Niemann's 'Stand by me'). And she's married to Dean Wareham who has a new EP out, the first under his own name, solo like. Britta plays bass on it and (I think) sings too. It's great.

Then a kind of mid-show, broadly folk theme. The Doomed Bird of Providence chart early Australian immigrant experience through song - compelling and not for the faint of heart. littlebow (lowercase) ply a beguiling brand of folk exotica. And Dan Haywood is a songwriter and ornithologist and combines the two by recording in the countryside. Bonkers and brilliant.

More on these pages as always.
