The fourth MOJO playlist of 2018
Hear new music from Eleanor Friedberger. Courtney Barnett, Sarah Louise, The Breeders, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and many more...
The new MOJO is out tomorrow: Neil Young’s on the cover, and you can find full details here . Please also bear in mind that you can order the new MOJO direct from us
In the meantime, here’s this week’s selection of new highlights from the MOJO stereo. Personal highlights: new Third Eye Foundation; French kosmische (is that a thing?) from Egyptology; Courtney Barnett, of course; Eleanor Freidberger; a new jam from Irish guitar outlier Cian Nugent; a reissue of one of my favourite proto-punk records of the early ‘70s, by Ontario’s Simply Saucer; and maybe best of all, the wild and deep folk of Sarah Louise. Have a listen, and let me know what you think: https://twitter.com/JohnRMulvey.
