Album of the week
Roc Marciano - 656
I don't really know what there is to say at this point. Marci's output has been so consistently great and here he is at his best--when he's doing almost all the rapping and all of the production. Every time I listen, there's another line that jumps out at me as the best one and the beats are unimpeachable.
Song of the week
Mitski - Where's My Phone?
MFW I see a cat on the street doing something cute.
"Where's My Phone?" is the first single from Nothing's About To Happen To Me out February 27th on Dead Ocean
Classic of the week
Joyride! - Emergency Broadcast System
I'm not sure what made me put on this perfect slice of NorCal pop-punk this week, but I ended up listening to this album about six times in a row.
More heat
Snail Mail - Dead End
All the really good Snail Mail songs sound extremely similar to me (complimentary because I want more of them)
True Green - Italian Lightning
An entry into the canon of modern classic American indie singer-songwriter jams and all the proceeds go to mutual aid operations in the Twin Cities. Fuck ICE.
Lightning Bolt and OO|OO - Cloud Core
The boys from Lighting Bolt and YoshimiO from the Boredoms coming together for an absolute noise-punk masterclass.
Doll Spirit Vessel - Kissing My Cup
I go back and forth between, "this 90s revival thing is out of control" and "hell yes. fuck yeah." This one inspired the latter.
now playing: Califone - All My Friends Are Funeral Singers
