VARIOUS ARTISTS "uncut magazine, October 2018 freebie cd"

UK music magazine Uncut usually has a freebie cd with their monthly magazine,
it contains new music for the month, obviously a promotion for either reviews in the
magazine or upcoming album releases...
music included can be from any genre so unless you know the artists its like opening
up a box of chocolates, (without quoting Forrest...LOL)...
I don't buy it every month, just when theres something that interests me inside...
in this issue I am only familiar or have heard of two of the artists so the other thirteen
are new to my ears...

tracks:

1.... Richard Thompson "trying" **
UK folk rocker, track off his new album "13 rivers", its his 18th studio set...
song is neither folkie, nor rock so I call it Alternative...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUTGk5acRvk

2.... Beak "brean down" *
UK electronic pop band, comes off their third album "^^^^"....

US indi-rock/dream-pop band, comes off their fifth album "double negative"...
