New music including Metric, Editors, Desire and piri and Tommy Villiers on this week’s West Of The Fields podcast

I continued exploring recent releases from Let’s Eat Grandma, Hatchie, Fontaines D.C., Ibibio Sound Machine and Guerilla Toss on the show this week, while the retro alternative set was another triple shot: a short set of late ’80s jangly British indie-pop and a quick block of mid-’90s female alt-rockers, which sandwiched a longer set of classic Detroit techno tracks. Here’s the tracklist for the full show:
