I added “Delete Delete” by Beyoncé and Run the Jewels collaborator Jordan Asher “BOOTS” Cruz to my Spotify workplace playlist when it was released a couple of weeks ago and promptly forgot it existed. Then, last night, it dropped in the middle of a twelve hour graveyard shift and made[…]
Warning! Hot Chip co-founder Alexis Taylor’s “Beautiful Thing” is the artsy Disco heatrock we all deserve to light up this dreary season between Winter and Spring! “Beautiful Thing” is the first single and title track from Taylor’s forthcoming fourth (I guess…his discography is weird) solo album, out April 20th on[…]
I love all of of Montreal’s music. But there’s always at least one song, if not a handful of them, from every one of their albums that really speaks to me. “Plateau Phase/No Careerism No Corruption” is definitely one of those songs. Yeah, it’s ear-catching with its blend of booming[…]
“Will He”, a piano-fueled Trip-Hop meets Trap slow jam from YouTube personality turned musician George “joji” Miller, was easily one of 2017’s most memorable tracks for me. So you can imagine I’m quite pleased that Canadian beatmaker Ryan Hemsworth has delivered a fresh remix that not only extends the tune’s[…]
Columbian/American soulful Pop chanteuse Kali Uchis enlists the assistance of Canadian Jazz band BADBADNOTGOOD, pioneering Funk bassist Bootsy Collins, and frequent collaborator Tyler, The Creator on her new single “After the Storm”. “After the Storm”, which comes off as a bit of an answer to the faux Bootsyisms of Childish[…]
The video for joji’s “Window” may be the most ambitious video so far from what may be my favorite record of last year but I’m not sure it tonally matches the music as well as some of the other clips he’s released. It sure is weird, and a little bloody,[…]
I have no idea what the fuck is going on in the beautiful but creepy video clip for Baroque bedroom Pop act Son Lux’s new single “Slowly”. But the music is haunting in a way that is very typical of Son Lux’s output over the years. “Slowly” is the first[…]
It’s been about a year since rapper/producer El-P and his lyricist partner Killer Mike released their third self-titled project as Run the Jewels. My favorite track on the album was “Call Ticketron”, an almost frantically uptempo cut featuring booming 808s and throwback vocal samples familiar to anybody who watched New[…]
The visuals for Youtube personality turned troubadour joji’s “Demons” are simple but elegant and appropriately melancholy. “Demons” is the second single from joji’s outstanding debut EP ‘In Tongues’ which is out now via 88rising. joji
Aesop Rock has been in the rap game for a solid twenty years and as such has no business releasing a song as 🔥 as his new single “Hot Dogs”. But he did. “Hot Dogs” is out now digitally and on limited edition vinyl via the Rhymesayers Entertainment label. Aesop[…]
San Francisco bred slam poet and rapper Watsky reps cunnilingus and fellatio and questions gender and identity based sexual conditioning in the very NSFW Nick Roney directed video for his track “Going Down”. Dude said: I got a wand tongue I’m doing sorcery I can dig it. “Going Down” is[…]
Speaking of weird, sorta depressing pseudo R&B slow-jam shit, “Will He”, a piano and 808 kick drum driven slapper from joji, a.k.a. George Miller, the Japanese-Australian YouTube personality behind Filthy Frank and Pink Guy, is kinda ruling my sad boy ass right now. The video, which features buckets of blood[…]
