Lupin – “K.O. Kid”
Claymation has never been more…unsettling? That’s not true, but the point is that “KO Kid” is represented by a mildly cursed animated music video. The vibes are oddly on point, matching the subtle voice effects and 2D instrumentation that backs everything up.

Bartees Strange – “Wretched”
“Wretched” is a power pop ballad that can get you swept into its stadium-sized chorus. It appears on Farm to Table, Bartees Strange’s fantastic new LP. Bartees Strange | website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify Continue reading Bartees Strange – “Wretched”
MICHELLE – “UNBOUND”
Do I feel four years too late upon my discovery of MICHELLE? Yeah. Still, is “UNBOUND” my favorite song today? Absolutely. To call it an earworm doesn’t quite convey its sultry and carefree queer energy. MICHELLE | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | Soundcloud Continue reading MICHELLE – “UNBOUND”
Legend by Poco
Drawn in by the minimalist artwork, I was not disappointed by this Poco LP. Apparently the band was the next chapter for two former members of Buffalo Springfield. Wikipedia suggests that they were well-loved and an enduring band, with a career that has stretched from the late ’60s through as recently as 2021. Last year, sadly, founding member Rusty Young passed away. He wrote six of the nine tracks on Legend. Continue reading Legend by Poco

Julia Jacklin – “I Was Neon”
Wild how Julia Jacklin is always able to cut to my core. I, too, quite like who I am…and I’m obsessed with that paisley ankle-length gown she sports in the music video.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
A classic in every sense. Sister Sledge is one of those rare household staples, whether everyone realizes their name or not. Their sound defines the ’70s for me, and that’s saying a lot when you consider that a majority of my wax collection was originally printed in that fortuitous decade. It’s a little bit disco, a little bit R&B, and a whole lotta let’s-boogie-on-the-dancefloor. Everyone certainly knows “We Are Family.” Continue reading We Are Family by Sister Sledge
minthaze – “suffering”
Lighter than the title suggests, “suffering” and the album that precedes it are a relaxing journey that leans into the optimism of our negligible existence. minthaze | Instagram | Spotify | Soundcloud | Bandcamp Continue reading minthaze – “suffering”
