Playlist 295 - Jan 21 2014

Great news last week of a Cork gig for Julia Kent (pictured) in March (also Dublin). We took a track each from her last two albums, Character and Green and grey, each quite different but equally great.

O Emperor are deservedly up for the Choice Irish album of the year, although no excuse needed to hear 'Holy fool'. Band of Clouds also play a rare gig in Cork in March - 'Cats cuts' is a great slice of fuzzy dream pop and both bands were in the Best of 2013 round up on the blog lately (so were My Pilot actually).

Some brilliant Spaghetti Western cuts from Bruno Nicolai and Alessandro Alessandroni(thanks for the nod PMcD) either side of some more recent soundtrack work from John Parish.

A couple of "archive" classics from Bjork's Medulla album and XTC's Apple Venus Vol 1. (Can less then 15 years old be considered archive?)

And Ezra Furman taking a page from The Modern Lovers' book, thrillingly.

More on these pages as always.
