The sixth MOJO playlist of 2018
Your weekly digest of the best new MOJO music
Welcome to this week’s satisfyingly mixed bag of MOJO stereo selections. For your delectation, some personal selections: the first excerpt from Ryley Walker’s heavy new album; yet more of Wand’s ambitious garage rock; strong minimalism from Byron Westbrook; a further extract from Yo La Tengo’s There’s A Riot Going On (the most satisfying album to play in last week’s snow, we found); fierce jazz from Ben LaMar Gay; and the beautiful, uncanny Park Jiha.
