John Cale: Music For A New Society

BBC Radio 6 Music - Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone, John Cale: Music For A New Society

John Cale's Music For A New Society gets the featured album treatment.

John Cale's Music For A New Society gets the featured album treatment. It's a quiet, introspective album that followed directly on from the frenzied social commentary of Honi Soit.

Freakmaster General Maconie presents 120 minutes of not-normal songs that range from desolate and challenging to shiny and beautiful. Expect lush soundscapes, banging beats, angular guitars and tender instrumentals - all within minutes of each other and presided over with fathomless knowledge by your gracious host. 

This week John Cale's Music For A New Society gets the featured album treatment. A quiet introspective record that came directly after the more frenzied social commentary of Honi Soit. Music For A New Society is defined by emotional fragility, tackling feelings of regret and betrayal with stripped back arrangements and raw intensity.
