Playlist 427 - Dec 13 2016 - Christmas Special
A seasonal collection that hopefully steers clear of cliché.
There's still room for nostalgia in the shape of Dylan Thomas who is a master of memoir reshaped into bursting childhood surrealism.
And earnest goodwill in the shape of Sufjan Stevens, albeit in bonkers fairytale fashion.
In between there's a healthy dose of scepticism - Gruff Rhys; cautionary tales - Howe Gelb; and ominous poetry - Patti Smith.
The bulk of the set could probably be summed up as the triumph of form over content. Cocteau Twins, shimmering and shoegazing. Low, being Low, marvellous. Darlene Love's wall of sound. Arthur Lyman, Hawaiian sounds brought to bear.
And the swooning orchestral soundtrack of Mikael Tariverdiev, just released.
Happy Holidays.
