Playlist 307 - Apr 15 2014

The centrepiece this week was a cut from the Kronos Quartet collaboration with Bollywood legend Asha Bhosle from a few years back, an album well worth your time. The track we had was a version of her original song from the 1971 film Hare Rama Hare Krishna, music composed by her husband RD Burman at that time. The Kronos Quartet play Cork Opera House in May, along with Julianna Barwick. That should be a very special night.

On the world musics theme, we had Sabina again with her refreshing update on bossa nova, paired with Gal Costa, the Brazilian Tropicalia great.

New music too from Wussy (energising tribute to The Who, kinda), Bob Mould (in very good voice), Arch Garrison (rubbing folk music up against vintage synths, brilliantly) and Shonen Knife (extolling the virtues of green tea, loud and fast).

And the wonderful Future Islands, who play Dublin in November, with their new single 'Spirit', another weird pop anthem full of soul and yearning.
