The HOT List
One of the profound upsides of this century’s technological advances has been the ability to share music – across the world – at the drop of a hat.That might sound a little obvious (and it creates challenges as well), but in the absence of much actual travel this past year or so we’ve appreciated it more than ever. To paraphrase Status Quo, people really are rocking out all over the world. If that’s not music to a rock fan’s ears, we don’t know what is. Apart from, well, actual music.
This month our rocking-all-over-theworld Hot List transports you to Sweden with Ghost, Los Angeles with Dead Sara, Denmark via Brazil with The Courettes, Canada with SATE, and back to good old Blighty with Skam and Shackleford. With mind-bending blues, hard rock, sucker-punch pop and Americana between them (among many other sounds), it’s a delectable selection.

Ghost
Hunter’s Moon
Tobias Forge returns with the first new Ghost music in two years. It’s also the music that runs with the end credits for the upcoming John Carpentersoundtracked horror flick Halloween Kills. Carpenter might bring the chills, but Ghost have the disco lights we all need after being scared shitless; along with the sort of pop-come-70s prog quality that builds on the band’s previous album Prequelle. If ABBA were soundtracking this movie, they probably would have written something like this. ghost-official.com
