New music including Amber Arcades, The Smile, Oliver Sim and The Orielles on this week’s West Of The Fields podcast
I continued delving into recent releases from Weyes Blood, Röyksopp, Vera Blue, Phoenix, Christine and the Queens, Alex G and White Lung on the show this week, while the retro alternative set again featured a tribute to a recently deceased musical great, this time Terry Hall of the legendary 2-tone band The Specials, as well as another grab bag of older tracks, ranging from early ’90s Japanese pop (Poison Girl Friend) to ’60s balladeering (Scott Walker) to ’80s alt-rock (Wire).
