Playlist

We asked David to compile a playlist with the best, non-shit uses of this most "marmite" of instruments...

With a host of great releases already in the bag, it's been a great start to the year...

Plus Elton John, Metronomy, Sky Ferreira, Cloud Nothings, Ben Frost; discover Broken Twin, Lyla Foy and MØ.

Some big tunes from St Vincent, Nicolas Jaar and tUnE-yArDs; some modern classical and a smidgen of ambient music to finish.

Plus Augustines, Mark McGuire, Sun Kil Moon, EMA, Xiu Xiu, Beck, Phantogram and more...

Here's some Drenge, Foals, Actress, Wild Beasts and more to remind you how great British music is right now.
