    Not sure how I missed this in January, but genuinely saddened to hear that Mark Fisher has died. Very open about his struggles with mental health, he took his own life.

    Loving this local lad Loyle Carner’s new album, and this track in particular. Lyrically smart and emotionally raw. Great background piece on him here, from the normally ‘orrible Evading Standards.

    Low played a special Christmas gig at Union Chapel last night, one of my favourite venues in London.  They have a Christmas album out too: broody, melancholic takes on festive classics. Sounded gorgeous.
