CONTENTS MOJO 372

COVER STORY: DAVID GILMOUR The guitar and voice of Pink Floyd roars back, with an album mixing classic moves with startling innovations. On his mind: Rick Wright, false nostalgia, Covid survival, and that Roger tweet. “I have no regrets about it whatsoever.”

RAMONES It’s a half century since the birth of the fake family with the real-life family issues. Kris Needs returns to the Big Bang of their rock revolution.

LAURA MARLING Teenage star turned wild California seeker, turned grounded philosopher, a Great British Songwriter comes into her own. Just don’t mention the ‘f(olk)’ word…

RANDY NEWMAN In 1974, America’s funniest/most serious songwriter unleashed Good Old Boys and the incendiary Rednecks. The inside story, from an important new biography.

THE HARD QUARTET Take Pavement’s Steve Malkmus. Add Dirty Three/Will Oldham/Cat Power/Ty Segall side-wizards. Bake. And voilà: careening indie rock like mom used to make.

KATE PIERSON The story of The B-52s – the freakiest thing out of an Athens funeral parlour ever – told by their beehived belle, as her second solo album emerges.

TUCKER ZIMMERMAN Admired by Bowie, courted by Crosby and Stills, exiled in Europe, rediscovered by Big Thief: one of the Great Lost Singer-Songwriters has his day at last.

SADE The hardscrabble story behind the sophisto styles of one of the Great Albums Of The ’80s. “The day she went to do Top Of The Pops, the toilet had frozen over.”
