New music including Washed Out, Jessica Pratt, Caroline Polachek and Cassandra Jenkins on this week’s West Of The Fields podcast

West of The Fields

I continued exploring recent releases from Boeckner, Camera Obscura, St. Vincent, Corridor, Fat White Family, Bolis Pupul, Justice, Mount Kimbie, Chanel Beads and Pearl Jam on the show this week, while the retro alternative set looked back to the (relatively!) recent past with a block of great tunes from 2010, inspire by my recent obsession with Cindy Lee’s “Diamond Jubilee” album. Patrick Flegel, the creative force behind Cindy Lee, released their last album with their cult-favorite band Women, “Public Strain,” in 2010, so I unearthed a couple tracks from that fine record, along with other gems from that year by Deerhunter, Crystal Castles, Beach House, Gorillaz, Goldfrapp and many more. Here’s the tracklist for the full show:
