Another week, another playlist for you. With the absence of new material this week (damn you Black Friday), we venture into another rabbit hole of new music with Uniquely Playlist #9 – a playlist of just over an hour of the best music in alternative.

We first kick off with static metal via Point North‘s Safe and Sound; drafted from their newest that came out a little earlier in the year. We see more Fiddlehead thrown in there from Death is Nothing to Us, a recent album we’ve reviewed here. Angel Du$t are paving the way right now with their four-the-floor noise rock – and for good reason. We have fugal hardcore whip Love Slam from BRAND NEW SOUL; another emphatic work we’ve been meaning to review since it came out back in early September. For fans of SLOWJOY, we have more yearning guitar twangs and melancholy words with new stuff from FLAKE. If you’re looking for a bit more cut-throat we have the new Deafcult – the Brisbane-based boys who spent a little too much time on their own during their high school years. Another swansong from English Teacher has also dropped this week – Mastermind Specialism – as they fast become my favourite co-conspirators to a new punk-rock sound. New project PROJECTOR also lay a claim to the 19-track listing, with many setting sights on their upcoming album and UK tour next year. Watch this space. Notts-based (big up ya locals) Divorce also have some celebrating to do before the year is out with new EP Heady Metal. If you also managed to grab tickets for their hometown show in December too – lucky you! Alas, Dead Poet Society return in what seems like eternity with a double sprang of boomy beef rock; classic to the core. Yard Act are also gleaming themselves for another stellar year next year. Dream Job embraces a new sound for the band who still stay emphatically themselves. Egyptian Blue’s A Living Commodity also came out at the end of October and so you can bet Matador is on here. A residency slot on BBC6Music, they are on a spiral upwards to the promised land. We can’t have a playlist without some shoegaze swamp and so quannnic helps us out with that – before twisted Talking Heads / cowboy radio music Humour round things off with a glorious slice of Scottish weird.
