New music including Mabe Fratti, Ela Minus, Jessie Ware and Romy, and Mura Masa and Yeule on this week’s West Of The Fields podcast

West of The Fields

I continued exploring recent releases from Charli XCX, Washed Out, Been Stellar, Fat White Family, Pearl Jam, Kings Of Leon, The Black Keys, John Cale, Beth Gibbons and Billie Eilish on the show this week, while the retro alternative set focused on excellent tunes from the year 1990, in honor of another recent Pitchfork Sunday Review, this one of the Happy Mondays’ Madchester classic third album, “Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches.” There’s more “baggy” gems from Charlatans UK and Inspiral Carpets, sophistipop from Everything But The Girl and Prefab Sprout, electronic standouts from Depeche Mode and Cabaret Voltaire, and more obscure international tracks from Caifanes and Curious (Yellow). Here’s the tracklist for the full show:
