The Performers, “Mini Skirt” (196?)
I should be able to love the energy and thrilling snare fills without being constantly annoyed that I can’t find out what year it was released, right? RIGHT?! And yet…
Julian Casablancas, “Out of the Blue” (2009)
Those “oh"s in the choruses are exactly the kind of shit I can’t resist.
Girl Ray, “Keep It Tight” (2019)
I just love them so much, and the more they mix their boy-crazy indie with R&B and pop, the more I love them.
Caroline Polachek, “Coma” (2024)
All hail the 2020s drum ‘n’ bass resurgence! It’s the collective realization that it’s a sound that was given up on way too early.
Camper Van Beethoven, “She Divines Water” (1988)
Blowing my mind with its beauty for decades.
