The Q Recommender Go-Kart Mozart - 'When You're Depressed'
Five years after his last run around as Go Kart Mozart, former Felt leader Lawrence is back with a fresh blast of his singular brand of plastic glam pop. Its chintzy neon synths and first-pumping chorus slightly at odds with a lyric detailing the lows of mental illness: “Never cry, never laugh, don’t clean your teeth, don’t have a bath…”The Record Tcml Ellie Rowsell Chooses Pink's 'Missundaztood"
Wolf Alice's frontwoman on how the 13-year-old her was forever affected by Pink's 2001 album.Q Gold The Killers: Brandon Flowers Fights Back From The Brink
Brandon Flowers has the perfect rock singer life. And yet behind the façade, everything started to unravel: his group, his music, his wife. Simon Goddard finds him at the dawn of another Killers album, but also at a crossroads, with band members bailing and his family leaving Las Vegas… are The Killers facing the final curtain?Lens Phoenix in Paris
Phoenix, shot by Ed Miles exclusively for Q at the AccorHotels Arena in Paris, September 2017. An outtake from their feature in Q379, available to buy here.The Q Recommender Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - 'Little Thing Gone Wild'
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club return in early 2018 with their first record in almost four years. Wrong Creatures is an album of swampy, psychedelic blues-rock, the sort of thing the West Coast trio do best. Little Thing Gone Wild is the rattling, excellent first track from it.The Record Tcml Wiley chooses M.C Hammer's 'Please Hammer, Please Don't Hurt 'Em'
The grime pioneer on how MC Hammer's 1990 album encouraged to him rap in his own accent.The Record Tcml Liam Gallagher chooses 'The Stone Roses' by The Stone Roses
The man of the moment on why The Stone Roses' 1989 debut was such a gamechanger for him.The Q Recommender Alien Stadium - 'This One's For The Humans'
Alien Stadium is a collaborative mini-album between Steve Mason and Primal Scream's Martin Duffy. As the picture suggests, it is four-tracks of out-there concept-rock, following a storyline about an alien invasion. They are "pisshead" aliens, explain the duo. This is the opener, its cosmic groove setting the intergalactic tone.The Q Recommender Boy Azooga - 'Face Behind Her Cigarette'
The brainchild of Cardiff native Davey Newington, Boy Azooga make psychedelic indie-rock with a playful groove. This debut release for Heavenly Recordings is a homage to Nigerian funk icon William Onyeabor. It also sounds a bit like Foals doing a conga.The Q Recommender Euros Childs - 'My Colander'
The former frontman of psychedelic Welsh folk-rockers Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, Euros Childs is now a prolific solo artist who has retained his unique brand of excellent strangeness. This track from his forthcoming 13th solo album is a catchy paean to the kitchen utensil no-one can do without when it comes to draining things.Lens Kelley Deal at home
The Breeders' Kelley Deal, shot by Amy Powell exclusively for Q at her home in Dayton, Ohio, October 2017. An outtake from her shoot for The Albums That Changed My Life in Q379, available to buy here.The Record Tcml James Murphy Chooses 'Purple Rain' By Prince

It's been on regular rotation on the Q office stereo and this is the propulsive excellent first cut from it.The Record Tcml The War On Drugs' Adam Granduciel chooses 'Are You Experienced' by The Jimi Hendrix Experience
The War On Drugs' frontman on why the 1967 album is so important to him.The Q Recommender MGMT - 'Little Dark Age'
MGMT's first single in four years is a bewitching slice of gothic electronic-pop. Little Dark Age, the title track from their forthcoming fourth album (it's due out early next year), is accompanied by a sinister video directed by David MacNutt and Nathaniel Axel.Lens Paul Weller in New York
Paul Weller, shot by Colin Lane exclusively for Q, backstage at Irving Plaza, New York, October 2017. An outtake from Q379, available to buy here.Lens Noel Gallagher in Buenos Aires
Noel Gallagher, shot by Lawrence Watson in Buenos Aires, October 2017. An outtake from Q379, available to buy here.The Q Recommender The Orielles - Let Your Dogtooth Grow
Halifax trio The Orielles are in thrall to the jingle jangle of mid-‘80s indie-pop. Their debut album stitches together all the best bits while mercifully circumnavigating any hints of tweeness, as you can hear on the whoah-oh-ohh powered whoosh of Let Your Dogtooth Grow.Q Gold Wolf Alice: on the road with the workaholic Londoners in the US.
The London quartet toured tirelessly to let the world know about their Mercury-nominated debut album and it caught up with them as they prepared to release their second album. Laura Snapes joined them on the road in the US to find a band trying to slow the sands of time.Q Gold Josh Homme: The Making Of Modern Rock's Kingpin
He is the Ginger Johnny Cash. The loved, feared and respected Leader Of The Pack. Josh Homme is the badass king of Queens Of The Stone Age. Niall Doherty tracked his motorbike across Los Angeles and his footsteps through London.The Record Tcml Brandon Flowers chooses 'Songs Of Faith And Devotion' by Depeche Mode
The Killers' leader on why the Basildon trio's eighth album is so important to him.Playlists Guest Playlist: The Best Of Richer Unsigned - June 2017
