Track of the Week

Lola Young – Conceited

With its stark, damning lyrical accusations and an arrestingly erratic groove - not to mention it's stunner of an act three twist - "Conceited" is a stormy portrait of a toxic love affair painted upon the canvas of its off-kilter and cleverly turbulent arrangement. It's also a brief and striking distillation of everything that makes its parent album - and Young's music in general - so compelling.

Lovina Falls – “Vaulted”

"Vaulted," featured on Lovina Fall's recently minted LP "Calculating the Angle of Our Descent," is a delightful amalgamation of old-school songcraft served up with a modern character.

Track of the Week

Mat Zo (feat. Rachel K Collier) – Only For You

While contending with staple album-mates like "Superman Lost" or "Easy" for primacy, its on "Only For You" that Damage Control most readily proves its creators' brilliance in crafting delightfully sonorous, irresistibly sleek, deceptively expressive EDM.

Men I Trust – Tailwhip

Canadian DIY darlings Men I Trust made a name for themselves in the indie scene with their unique blend of dreamy, groove-laden pop. Oftentimes in the band's press it seems that former characteristic of their music eclipses the latter in recognition, but "Tailwhip" is proof positive that their sense for for crafting an infectious rhythm is just as keen as their knack for generating the spacious atmospheres those rhythms occupy.

Miles Kane – Electric Flower

Fuzzed-out guitar licks drip over a strutting, lascivious beat while Kane channels Marc Bolan's sultry croon in an ode on a botanically-dubbed lover, all wrapped up in a warm layer of saturation that recalls both retro recordings, and the scores of present-day tracks made to invoke that same analog aura.

Music Track of the Week

Mozart – Ganz Kleine Nachtmusik

While one hopes in light of it's rediscovery that somewhere, somehow there might still be more great music waiting to be found, buried in the annals of time. That said, should this indeed be the last word of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to time immemorial, then its a fitting, if quiet, one - no great Requiem Mass or seminal Opera Buffa, just one last little treat from one of the most effortlessly luminous musical imaginations in recorded history.

Mei Semones – Animaru

... "Animaru" contains multitudes, being on the one hand as unpredictable and wild as its namesake would imply, and on another a carefully sonic opus.

Moses Sumney & Haley Williams – I Like It I Like It

"I Like It I Like It" is a soulful, almost sinister little helping of R&B, built on a roiling, slinky beat and a positively seductive bassline and topped with luscious, chime-like keys, plus the occasional clarion-call synth. Both singers join in reverb-drenched harmony throughout, splitting the song's two primary verses between them before ending once more in perfect tandem.

Muse – Unraveling

..."Unraveling," feels like a both a culmination and an evolution of all these past iterations of Muse, merging the synthwave ventures of their later years with the guitar-driven heaviness of their earlier repertoire.
