The 12th MOJO Playlist Of 2018
Hear Alex Turner’s personal playlist, plus all the week’s best new arrivals
The new issue of MOJO is out now in the UK (you can order a copy direct from us: http://www.greatmagazines.co.uk/arcticmonkeys ), which includes our exclusive interview with the returning Arctic Monkeys, and Alex Turner’s handwritten playlist of the music that inspired their forthcoming album, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.
Thanks, also, to Stephen Fagan, who crunched Alex’s selections into a Spotify playlist: not just a useful primer of the vibes emanating from Tranquility Base, but a really interesting selection in its own right – the Three Degrees’ take on “Collage” is a major revelation, for a start.
A great addition to this week’s office playlist, which also features new music from Mazzy Star, Stuart Staples, Matthew E White and Sleep, archive discoveries from Gene Clark and Prince, and unreconstructed sharpie antics from new yob faves Amyl & The Sniffers.
