Percolate Junction

Jennifer Lucy Allan shares a selection of caffeinated tracks to fight hibernation, from trip hop to Black Flag鈥檚 hardcore punk.

To fight the winter blues and push back idleness, Jennifer Lucy Allan rethinks the insipid coffee shop soundtrack with this fresh brew of experimental and adventurous music. As an inspiration for lyrics, as a source of heightened energy, as a locus of culture, the humble coffee bean and the various forms in which it is drunk have filtered into a range of music, from trip hop to Black Flag, the hardcore punk band whose phenomenal stage energy was fuelled by the bandleader's addiction to cup after cup of coffee.

Plus, new music from the collaboration between Belgian guitarist Ignatz and New York-based noise artist Marcia Bassett, as well as a melancholic track from Irish fiddle player Ultan O'Brien from a forthcoming compilation titled A Collection of Slow Airs By Some Very Fine Fiddlers.
