Music to see us through

Elizabeth Alker with music that defies classification including Darkstar, Childish Gambino and Hania Rani.

This week Elizabeth Alker plays an eclectic mix of beautiful music for these times. We hear new music from Darkstar, Hania Rani and Agnes Obel. Brothers Nick and Jordan Smart take us to the Indian Ocean with their new project Sunda Arc, IyatraQuartet combine Indian Raga with Cuban and Brazilian rhythm and western classical styles, and there's a collaboration with composer Luke Howard and vocal group Shards. Plus we have another bedtime story from Jarvis Cocker, and spacious, cosmic music from Childish Gambino's new album.
