Beat City 63 - Tinfoil Deathstar

Hello and welcome to Beat City, the most varied New Music podcast on the internet bar none. This week featuring indie from London's Pumarosa, Toronto's The Strumbellas and Elvis Depressedly from Ashevill, North Carolina which sounds from their records like its a barrel lf laughs to live in. There's a track from the new album by the mighty Yeasayer which could well be their best work since the debut "All Hour Symbols" all those years ago (well, 2007) There's hip hop from Tunji Ige's excellent new record which has a synth sample I just can not place try as I might, see if you have better luck ... and this week's featured album is also a hip hop record and its one we're really excited about here in Beat City. Its the new album by by Father, the mainman behind the Awful Records label, featuring a host of Awful Records artists including the great Tommy Genesis who regular listeners to the show may remember me featuring a LOT last year. You'll hear three or four tracks from that album . There's also, unusually for this show but most welcome, a cracking new country track from Margo Price and a couple of stonking slices of punk thrash from Bristol punks The Migraines There's The Evil Usses (also from Bristol), who kind of defy categorisation but are fantastic ... and folk from Boreas from Norway / Scotland and the Malawi Mouse Boys from Malawi.

Meilyr Jones' "2013" sounds like one of the albums of 2016, even at this early stage. Mind you the same could be said of Steven James Adams' "Old Magick", Nervous Twitch's "Don't Take My TV").
