tQ’s Exclusive Monthly Round-Up Playlist: September 2024

Here's everything we've covered at The Quietus this month, compiled for the listening pleasure of tQ's subscribers

As one of your many, many perks for becoming a Quietus subscriber, we’re compiling a specially-curated, playlist for our readers every month.

Across almost more than five hours of music, you’ll find evsicerating noise from Blood Incantation and Divide & Dissolve, wonky bangers from Xiu Xiu and Nonpareils, sonic transcendence from Nala Sinephro and Dialect, the best of the world’s experimental fringes, two cuts from our guide to the Romanian underground plus the picks of our metal, punk, Rum Music, psych rock and cassettes columns and more!

On top of all that, don’t forget that as a subscriber you also get links to our regular specially curated ‘Organic Intelligence’ playlists, exploring the weirdest and wonderfullest musical niches, from under-the-radar Italian pulp film soundtracks to noise in 2020s Tokyo.

In order to listen to the playlists, you’ll need the link – you can become a Quietus Low Culture or Sound & Vision tier subscriber here. And FYI, the playlist is but one of the perks you could receive as a Quietus Subscriber. Our latest Low Culture podcast features John Doran and Luke Turner on Terence Davies’ Of Time And The City and is live now, as are heaps of exclusive releases for our Sound & Vision tier members from none other than The None, Nurse With Wound and Thee Alcoholics, exclusive essays on the likes of the BBC’s 1981 The Lord Of The Rings adaptation, Japanese denim, Better Things, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, Cardiacs, Elephant Fayre, Ministry and more. More is being announced very soon indeed, and rest assured it’s not to be missed. Access your playlists below the Steady paywall here:

Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times an ad is presented to you).

Information about your activity on this service (such as forms you submit, content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (for example, information from your previous activity on this service and other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (that might include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present advertising that appears more relevant based on your possible interests by this and other entities.

This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (which might for example include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present content that appears more relevant based on your possible interests, such as by adapting the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find content that matches your interests.

This can for example be used to adapt the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find (non-advertising) content that matches your interests.

Information regarding which advertising is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine how well an advert has worked for you or other users and whether the goals of the advertising were reached. For instance, whether you saw an ad, whether you clicked on it, whether it led you to buy a product or visit a website, etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of advertising campaigns.

Information regarding which content is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine whether the (non-advertising) content e.g. reached its intended audience and matched your interests. For instance, whether you read an article, watch a video, listen to a podcast or look at a product description, how long you spent on this service and the web pages you visit etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of (non-advertising) content that is shown to you.

Reports can be generated based on the combination of data sets (like user profiles, statistics, market research, analytics data) regarding your interactions and those of other users with advertising or (non-advertising) content to identify common characteristics (for instance, to determine which target audiences are more receptive to an ad campaign or to certain contents).

Information about your activity on this service, such as your interaction with ads or content, can be very helpful to improve products and services and to build new products and services based on user interactions, the type of audience, etc. This specific purpose does not include the development or improvement of user profiles and identifiers.
