As we shuffle one day closer to Christmas, the Hundred in the Hands have created a Spotify playlist to help banish those winter blues. Here's what they had to say ...
It can feel hard to keep up with things on the road – and we spent most of last year touring. The long, tedious hours are spent listening to familiar favourites: classic soul, mutant R&B and avant-pop classics. Even so, there's nothing quite like getting addicted to something new – and there have been massive records this year, songs that wormed their way into our thoughts to soundtrack the slow passing of the road ahead. These are tracks from bands we played shows with, friends and neighbours who kept us on our toes, artists we adore and are always excited to check out, and forward-thinking cuts that made us jealous and more than a little hot and bothered."
