Quietus Subscriber playlists: January 2023

Though January is usually a quiet month at tQHQ we've still managed to unearth all sorts of excellent stuff to get 2023 off to a good start – will the number 23 prove as auspicious in the coming 12 months as many believe it can be? Let us hope so. As we fervently wish for a cosmic change in fortunes, tune in to the playlists of new music related to the editorial on the site since the new year: four hours of the stuff, featuring the likes of Jessica Winter, John Cale, Deathprod, Yves Tumor, Surgeon, Sleaford Mods, Gina Birch, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Kali Malone, Tim Hecker, Samia, James Holden, Overmono and much more. In the next day or so you'll have the new Quietus Low Culture podcast (thanks for all the comments on the last one btw, it's always lovely to get feedback), and across the rest of the month your Low Culture Essay, Organic Intelligence newsletter and, for Sound & Vision users, another piece of music, commissioned by us. If you're enjoying what you're getting from us, please do shout about it on social media or tell your tQ-reading friends. Times are tricky and there's always room on the broom for new supporters of the cause – just encourage them to sign up here (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre). Also, if you're a Low Culture subscriber and upgrade to the Sound & Vision tier, you'll get three releases in the inbox right away – Slow Tree's cosmic dubbed-out meander through the Isle of Skye (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre), a bottled essence of the joy of Sky & The Family Drone's live sets (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre), and a happy behemothic racket from Petbrick (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre).
