Your April Playlist is Here

Catch up with the sounds we wrote about last month

One of the most popular tQ subscriber perks is the monthly playlist, and we’ve got a cracker looking back at April with a whopping five-ish hours of music from 50-odd artists including My New Band Believe, Fire-Toolz, Squarepusher, Gnod, Irmin Schmidt, Aja Ireland, Sunn O))), Memorials, Guttersnipe, France, Madonna, NIN/Boys Noize, Mark Jenkin, David Byrne, OPN and much more. A reminder too of all the bonus editorial our subscribers had this past month. The Low Culture pod saw John and Luke discussing cult “cosmic horror” TV show Children Of The Stones; the Low Culture Essay was James Bailey on The Driver’s Seat by Muriel Spark, while the Organic Intelligence newsletter explored the history of medieval plainchant Dies Irae in popular culture. For our top Subscriber Tier members there were bonus playlists – a guide to the work of Irmin Schmidt, The Strange Worlds of Spacemen 3 and Thinking Fellers Union Local 282, your essential Harry Styles, and John Robb’s Baker’s Dozen selection. This month’s guest playlist came from Bait, Enys Men and Rose Of Nevada director Mark Jenkin, accompanied by an interview on his sonic influences. You can find all these here. If you’re not a subscriber and want to access all this bonus work you can become a subscriber here. Subscribers can find their monthly playlist below, and catch up with our Music Of The Month feature here. Our thanks as ever to our subscribers, without whom we would not be able to inject your ears with the antidote to the algorithm. Their playlists can be accessed below the paywall.
