Slobo & Khabs – “To Turn Into Water”
I find comfort in these chords. “To Turn Into Water” has gorgeous sounds including the soft, sweet guitar melody and the exquisite falsetto moment in the bridge. Production whirs past vocals seemingly going the wrong direction, but they’re actually still intelligible…what a dreamy song.

Ngaiire Sings from the Deepest Parts of Herself
Last year, Ngaiire returned with an astounding record, known simply as 3. The artist née Ngaiire (rhymes with diary) Joseph hails from Papua New Guinea and happened to create my favorite album of 2016, Blastoma; her 2021 record was no less impressive. She told NME that she was particularly focused on creating complex harmonies and backing vocals, and that’s only one detail (and fairly minor … Continue reading Ngaiire Sings from the Deepest Parts of Herself
Compro Oro – “Bitcoins”
Ghent-based Compro Oro use xylophones and guitars to comment on contemporary ways folks are digging for a new kind of gold. Band leader and composer Wim Segers created these new compositions often on piano or vibes in a more analogue way, leaving enough room for his band mates to colour each track when fine tuning the song. Segers was inspired by the world of crypto … Continue reading Compro Oro – “Bitcoins”
Quintessential & Eddou XL – “Playing Friends”
The groovy and silly red record, My Cheese Budget Is Growing, which is the debut for Quintessential, is excellent for many lyrical (and frankly theatrical) achievements as well as for the smooth beats provided by Eddou XL. “Playing Friends,” especially in context, goes unbelievably hard—and I can’t help but fixate on the openness of the final line of the chorus and song: “I made a … Continue reading Quintessential & Eddou XL – “Playing Friends”
