The nearly ultimate playlist (May, 29th)

„It begins with 56 seconds of sequencers going haywire, a warning siren from the heart of the cosmos. Then, after a few ominous organ chords, a wise and familiar voice emanates from the speakers. “The numbing is not working any more”, intones Stereolab’s Laetitia Sadier, articulating the current sense that everything has ceased to function – even the drugs designed to keep us distracted and supine. “Thirsty is the fear of death… We can’t drink our way out of it”. By this point in the song – entitled “Aerial Troubles” – a typically irresistible yé-yé groove has kicked in and the moribund state of our society in 2025 feels like something to be solved rather than lamented.“ (Sam Richards, Uncut)
