Herbie Flowers remembered: “Doris Day was invited to play the organ…”
Herbie Flowers, the veteran bassist who played with David Bowie, Lou Reed and Paul McCartney among many others, has died aged 86. Flowers, who was thought to have contributed to more than 500 hit albums by the end of the 1970s (according to the BBC), passed away on September 5. His death was announced by the family on Facebook. Flowers was born in Isleworth in 1938. He was conscripted into military service – which, he told Uncut, gave him ample preparation for a career as a musician. “It’s my working-class background and the nine years I spent in the...
Sérgio Mendes has died, aged 83
Sérgio Mendes, a titan of Brazilian music, “passed away peacefully” on September 5 in Los Angeles, aged 83. According to a statement on his Facebook page, “His wife and musical partner for the past 54 years, Gracinha Leporace Mendes, was by his side, as were his loving children… For the last several months, his health had been challenged by the effects of long term Covid.” Originally trained as a classical pianist, Mendes was at the forefront of Brazil’s bossa nova boom of the late 1950s alongside his mentor Antônio Carlos Jobim.

Lily Fontaine is pleased that her group, English Teacher, are defying expectations on their eclectic debut album – but she’s still a little apprehensive at how fans will take its diverse, sprawling contents. “A lot of people are probably expecting a heavier album, and that is a concern,” she says. “But we’d like to challenge people, surprise people – annoy people, maybe? I just don’t want to lock myself into one thing. Whatever comes out, comes out.” Indeed,...
Introducing the 500 Greatest Albums of the 2000s…Ranked!
One phrase which kept returning to mind while working on this new magazine was “Quiet is the new loud”. Back in 2001 it was the name of an excellent album by the lovely Norwegian group Kings Of Convenience (included, of course, in the collection of fine music we’ve democratically assembled for you here). But it was also a kind of ethos. As Fleet Fox Robin Pecknold explains in his excellent introductory interview to the magazine, from his point of view the 2000s were a simpler time. So dominant was the aggressive and neurotic nu metal which was the big...
