"Starts with an investigation and ends with the great death."

Good morning,

Welcome to your weekly Recommender fix. New music picks, words about those new music picks, playlists made up of those new music picks, we’ve got it all, if all is limited to only the things mentioned in this sentence. We’ve also got a Q&A with Clarissa Connelly. All you have to do for entry into this magical kingdom is 1/ scroll down, easy, everyone can do that, and 2/ be a paying subscriber to The New Cue, which is also easy and available to everyone. It costs £5 a month and you’ll get full access to every edition as well as our full archive plus it means Ted and Niall get to make a little reward for all the work they (we) put into this little enterprise. Everyone’s happy, come on, don’t be a spoilsport:

Here’s this week’s playlist:

And here it is the Apple Music mob.

Enjoy the edition,

Ted and Niall

Released Valve: Clarissa Connelly

Last year, we arranged to run a Release Valve with Clarissa Connelly, the gifted born-in-Scotland-raised-in-Copenhagen singer-songwriter whose music inhabits a wind-swept isle located on a lay-line between Kate Bush and Julia Holter. Nobody knows why it got shelved (Ted forgot about it; then we arranged to have it for her ICA show, which was postponed until Feb; then Ted’s book deadline nixed that…). But here we are now, a Released Valve about World of Work which came out nearly a year ago on Warp. It’s a great album. And Give It Back, which came out in October is a tremendous single. Check it…

And read her delayed valve, below. If you’re in Europe in April, you can see her perform here.

The first record I loved was… the first music I loved was from the Disney films I saw as a child. Beauty and the Beast, Ariel… damn there are some good songs and soundtracks on some of those films. Also, the music in church.

The last record I loved was…Lyle Mays, Lyle Mays

The musician I grew up most wanting to be is… I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to be someone specifically, but my biggest dream was making music of my own and spending most of my time being in music.
