Playlist 342 - Feb 3 2015

We started last week's show with 'Los Angeles' by Gene Clark. This week two contemporary LA-based artists, Jessica Pratt & Ariel Pink, the latter someone described recently by the former as one of the leading lights of the LA underground of weirdos. Nice.

New single from Tune-Yards, with a memory from Talking Heads from 1979. Syn-cop-a-tions.

A new band on me called Barringtone, reminding me a bit of classic rushing XTC - so they're paired with some classic rushing XTC from 1978.

Three new instrumental pieces in the middle - The Notwist (cinematic), Troyka (ambient drift), Sam Prekop (euphoric).

The Altered Hours play the Quarter Block Party in Cork this weekend, St Vincent plays three Irish dates in July.

And some new essential folk cuts from Elephant Micah, Steve Gunn & The Black Twig Pickers & Alasdair Roberts.

More on these pages.
