New every month: our new large music express playlist for streaming!
For each issue there is a newly curated playlist with the song recommendations of the ME editorial team. Here you can listen to the music that we tell you about in the magazine while you are reading.
For those readers who don’t want to do without our exclusive CD, it will continue to be available in the ME subscription (which, by the way, can be canceled at any time).
This time the June playlist features music from:
MIYA FOLICK
Indie rock pop with poetic, direct lyrics. With bubbling catchy hymns and eclectic productions, Folick tells of insecurities, fears, defeats and moments of rediscovered clarity.
ARLO PARKS
On the difficult second album after critical acclaim and the Mercury Prize, the singer/songwriter’s songs are again impressively light and flowing, although they deal with difficult topics such as mental health.
DURAND JONES
Retro soul is his specialty: On his solo debut (for the first time without his band The Indications), Jones explores his Southern roots. There is still room for a great languishing ballad like this.
THE CARPENTERS
The album title says it all: DIE ZIMMERMÄNNER SPIELEN SKAFIGHTER it says and after more than four decades the Hamburg band return to the horn-filled ska of their early days as a school band.
NABIHAH IQBAL
After a long wait, the Brit is back with her electronic soundscapes somewhere between dream pop and club music. They are as wistful as a serving of Cocteau Twins for the present.
PROTOMARTYR
On the new record, the US post-punk band wallows in pain and agony with cinemascopic precision. A hauntingly set to music, shimmering and highly emotional post-corona midlife crisis.
