Quietus Subscriber Playlists: April 2024

Before we get cracking with the playlists this month, a quick word about your subscription tiers. Over the years at tQ we have perhaps got a little carried away with choosing obscure titles for our editorial sections – Columbfortably Numb for JR Moores’ Psych Rock reviews, Tome On The Range for books, and so on. We’ve decided that perhaps Low Culture and Sound & Vision are a little vague to use as the names for our mid and top subscriber tiers, so have changed them to the more sensible Subscriber and Subscriber Plus. This doesn’t affect anything in your sub, but we thought you should let you know. The changes are all part of the imminent regeneration of The Quietus that we’ve been working on for months. We’re really excited to show you the new site in the coming weeks.

And now, for the playlists. Across more than three hours of music, you'll find bangers from Ibibio Sound Machine and bbymutha, sonic transcendence from Rich Ruth and Kiran Leonard, essential new picks from fast-risers like Wu-Lu and Martha Skye Murphy, the best of the world's experimental fringes, plus the picks of our electronic, metal, Eastern European and New Weird Britain columns and more!
