1 KEVIN MORBY
Rock Bottom
We begin this month with a highlight from Morby’s seventh solo album, This Is A Photograph. A glammy, rootsy stomp with distortion or echo colouring almost every element, it’s exciting, compact and – in its middle-eight of laughter – resolutely strange. Morby speaks on p32.
2 THE BLACK KEYS
It Ain’t Over
