Hey! Manchester’s Spotify playlist
We’ve been meaning to set up a playlist on million-member-strong music-streaming platform Spotify for a while – so now we have. For the first of hopefully a few, we thought we’d get all retrospective and include many of the bands who’ve played for us in the past, including:
Jens Lekman, Hush the Many, Nancy Elizabeth, Richard James, Viking Moses, Final Fantasy, Espers, Danielson, Los Campesinos!, Six Organs of Admittance, Jason Molina, Last Harbour, The Pony Collaboration, Alasdair Roberts, Marissa Nadler, Fireworks Night, Maria Taylor, Band of Horses, Of Montreal, Vetiver, The Twilight Sad, Frightened Rabbit, Herman Dune, Emmy the Great, Jeffrey Lewis, Menomena, Mark Kozelek, Okkervil River, Pinback, Efterklang, Akron/Family, A Hawk and a Hacksaw, YACHT, David Thomas Broughton, Olafur Arnalds, Portico Quartet, Dirty Projectors, Polar Bear, Wildbirds & Peacedrums, Volcano!, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, Johann Johannsson, Murcof, Great Lake Swimmers, Phosphorescent, Miracle Fortress
The songs selected are a mixture of our favourites and whatever happened to be available. To play the first Hey! Manchester playlist, click here (assuming you already have Spotify) and hit the shuffle button bottom right. Where else are you going to hear pschedelic rock followed by trad folk followed by glammy electronica followed by post-rock?
