Playlist 447 - May 16 2017

Slowdive have a first new album in over 20 years. It's great and picks up seamlessly from where they left off. We heard from it and from their shoegaze confreres of the 80s/90s Cocteau Twins, the magnificent swirl of the album Heaven or Las Vegas.

The charmingly named Snapped Ankles (pic) have released track 2 and it's another stonking piece of strident electro, not without melody and other intrigue however.

Another gorgeous Flying Nun memory from their reissue of Look Blue Go Purple; new music from This Is The Kit, a beautiful kosmische jam; The Magnetic Fields with memoir, Stonewall riots, feather boas, Serge Gainsbourg, Judy Garland and irresistible tunes.

And Manu Louis with a twisted kind of fairground funk with some brass band looney tunes thrown in which is wonderful.
