Subscriber Playlist: Everything we Wrote About in January

It might always take a little while for January to grind into gear in terms of releases and musicians doing things, but that hasn’t stopped our keyboards from clattering, words firing up into the site, and our Paddy Clarke constructing about three-and-a-half hours of music in the first subscriber exclusive playlists of 2025. We’ve got tunes from Marie Davidson, Decius, Ethel Cain, Lawrence English, FKA Twigs, Sam Amidon, Snapped Ankles, the Manics, MIKE, Parchman Prison Prayer, Kelala, Matt Berry, Throwing Muses, Quinton Barnes, Darkside, Sandwell District and much more besides via the links below. Also coming this month are a Low Culture Podcast on La Haine, a Low Culture Essay on discovering the joy of jam bands, and the Organic Intelligence newsletter on the Toronto goth scene during the 80s. We also love our Subscriber Plus tier members so much that on Valentine’s Day we’re going to be sending out a bonus release – if you’re not already in that illustrious top tier, you can upgrade here (Opens in a new window). Thanks, as ever, for all your support. If you’re enjoying what we’re doing, please do spread the word.
