Interview: Zander Sharp on his new EP, working with Stornoway and the art of a miserable song
Zander Sharp
We caught up with Zander Sharp, whom we featured a few weeks ago, as he puts the finishing touches on his new EP. Some choice nuggets here, folks: Zander spills on his song-writing business, his past as a ‘moody twat’ and cold-calling record companies. Who said punk’s dead, eh?
Take a listen to Let You Down and check out the interview after the break:
Ife – Lionel Loueke
Time for some world music methinks, and what better than some guitar-based African jazz courtesy of Blue Note artist Lionel Loueke:
The Cooker – The George Benson Quartet
I feel like there haven’t been enough sixties throwback be-bop organ-jazz quartets on Can You Hear This as of late, so in an effort to remedy this here’s one from one of my all time favourite groups, The George Benson Quartet

9 Songs for Coming Down
Not naked, but famous.
I used to have a playlist – compiled by iTunes, I believe – called ‘Indie: Coming Down.’ It breaks every puppy-orientated string in my heart to tell you I can’t find this anywhere on my iPod or computer. When I downloaded it, I don’t think I quite understood the motive behind the playlist. I was going through a ’16 year old kid trying to get into Radiohead’ sorta thing and my playlist was going through a more ‘I’m so high that I need to lie down, pretend the floor’s a cloud and listen to Radiohead’ kinda thing. And I’m not saying I spend my life in the latter’s world – drugs are bad, y’all – but I definitely get it now. So let’s rekindle some childhood naivete and raise a glass (mug of tea) to those early morning hours when it’s too early to fall asleep and too late to play Nicki Minaj. Side note: I’ve kept this list free of U2, Frank Ocean and The xx but literally all of their albums/songs would be A-OK here.
Until The Quiet Comes – Flying Lotus
As promised, I’ve spent the last week or so listening to ‘Until The Quiet Comes’ whilst avoiding work and I’ve come to some (slightly) startling conclusions. You can check out my thoughts below:
