Playlist 439 - Mar 21 2017

New releases this week from Dublin band Percolator (pic) with a lovely scratchy but somehow understated brand of shoegaze. They play Coughlan's in Cork at the end of April.

Also Snapped Ankles, punktronica they're calling it, all I know is it's got thundering bass and distorted vocals and is a great thing altogether.

Mick Harvey still wowing with the Serge Gainsbourg interpretations/translations, this time in duet with the wonderful Sophia Brous, more greatness.

More thunderous drumming this time from Huddersfield's The Scaramanga Six, two drummers apparently and a wonderful anthemic vocal refrain.

Plus Barry McCormack, playing The Workman's Club in Dublin soon, bringing great sturdy songwriting into folk tunes with a motorik pulse.

More on these pages.
