New music including Beabadoobee, Hinds and Beck, Jay Som and A. G. Cook on this week’s West Of The Fields podcast

West of The Fields

I continued delving into recent releases from St. Vincent, Amen Dunes, Fat White Family, Corridor, Allie X, Cindy Lee, Mount Kimbie, Chanel Beads, Jessica Pratt and English Teacher on the show this week, while the retro alternative set paid tribute to legendary producer, musician and songwriter Steve Albini, whose engineering on records by Pixies, PJ Harvey and Nirvana (among literally thousands of others) and his own work with pioneering noise-rock bands Big Black and Shellac changed the course of alternative rock history. Albini shockingly passed away earlier this month from a heart attack at the age of 61. Here’s the tracklist for the full show:
