The Killers – “Pressure Machine” (Island) Without a doubt the greatest thing I’ve heard all year.Ģ. Unfortunately this has only received very limited pressings, as the label it’s on is run out of a dorm room where I went to college. Will make you nostalgic for experiences you’ve never had, and places you’ve never been.

South Korean shoegaze/emo hybrid, all made by one dude using digital instruments, yet sounds as full and lush as if a full band had been present in the studio. Parannoul – “To See The Next Part Of The Dream” (Longinus Recordings)
Tyler the Creator “Call Me If You Get Lost”.Kota the Friend & Statik Selektah “To Kill A Sunrise”.I know there’s a lot of criticism to be had about originality or lack there-of, but baby… who cares!? This record is groovy as hell & sometimes that’s all that matters. All I can say is it’s a throwback R&B record with smooth, clean, crystal clear production. I don’t even know where to begin with this partnership between Anderson. I don’t know what hasn’t been said about it since it came out.

I don’t know how to talk about this record without hyperbole. This is dope beats, dope rhymes… what more could y’all want. Each track will be well crafted, with impeccable lyrical delivery & beats that knock. The thing is, what you get with Skyzoo is consistency. Prolific & brilliant, there aren’t many pens in the world that can match Sky’s & the layered entendres that populate the whole of “All the Brilliant Things” require listen upon listen. If what you want from your Rap music is very good rapping & very good beats, it’s difficult to overlook Skyzoo. The way that Charles manipulates & interpolates the original tracks is creative & adventurous, & I haven’t even mentioned the beautiful way she uses her voice. On this Verve Remixed project, each song is originally performed by another great woman in jazz & soul, but Charles takes them in incredibly diverse directions. Melanie Charles as a musician & producer is at times incredibly challenging for me. Melanie Charles “Y’all Don’t (Really) Care About Black Women” In fact, one of my favorite things about this record is the humor with which they tackle the subject matter, even the stuff that really might make you sad if you think about it too hard. It’s a sobering record sometimes, full of upbeat, sunshine-y pop tunes that often as not are about heart-break Not in a depressing oh-my-gosh-it’s-all-terrible-and-I-wanna-die way, but in a more subtle “I wouldn’t mind disappearing for a while, a Temporary Goodbye” kinda way. I love things that can contain a multitude of emotions in a single space & “Get Some” does that better than most records. These are the records that I think most helped me through the longest of the days.
