Rosalía is from Barcelona, and has studied flamenco for some time. Her first record was filled with various interpretations on the genre: traditional movements with … Continue reading Rosalía Tangles Innovation and Tradition on El Mal Querer
Che’s Shuco EP is a quilted electronica tapestry
As far as labels go, Astro Nautico destroys the game every year. Their output is wonderfully eclectic and a release always tends to stick with me come December, like L’Rain or Photay in years past.

The short release starts with a hesitant and thoroughly mechanical … Continue reading Che’s Shuco EP is a quilted electronica tapestry

This is my love letter to Amber Mark. As the … Continue reading Best Songs of 2018: 1. Amber Mark
