New music including Picture Parlour, This Is Lorelei, Health and Jamie xx on this week’s West Of The Fields podcast

West of The Fields

I continued exploring recent releases from John Cale, Charli XCX, Gesaffelstein, A. G. Cook, Peggy Gou, Goat Girl, Corridor, Cindy Lee, Beth Gibbons and Jessica Pratt on the show this week, while the retro alternative set was an extended tribute to legendary French singer-songwriter, occasional actress and fashion icon Françoise Hardy, who passed away earlier this month at 80. This set includes many of her best-known hits like “Tous les garçons et les filles” and “Comment te dire adieu,” as well as later collaborations with Blur, Air and Iggy Pop.
