New music including Mannequin Pussy, Roisin Murphy, Georgia and David Jackson and Dry Cleaning on this week’s West Of The Fields podcast

I continued delving into recent releases from Japanese Breakfast, Iceage, Sleater-Kinney, St. Vincent, Black Midi and Squid on the show this week, while I again opted for a triple-punch retro alternative set, with a classic Italo disco block, a bunch of Japanese New Wave, pop and electronic music from the ’80s and a block of semi-forgotten 80s New Wave hits.
