Beirut, “Tuanaki Atoll” (2025)
He’s still got it.
Black Country, New Road, “Besties” (2025)
I will be very curious to see how this album goes…
Mogwai, “Hi Chaos (2025)
Good song. The title is a little on-the-nose for the year, though.
Saint Etienne, “Shower Scene” (2002)
One of their best 21st century tracks. The way the synths burble in the background is amazing.
Foals, “What Went Down” (2015)
I often have mixed feelings about listening digitally instead of the concentrated way we used to. But when shuffle turns up some amazing tune that I had forgotten about, all is forgiven.
