π΅ Music findings #8
Hello everyone, and welcome to issue #8 of Music findings. Ten straight off the playlist β psych-rock, UK garage, French rap and one very sad brass band:
π΅ Songs
-
Tame Impala β The Less I Know The Better β that lurching bassline against a guitar that keeps slipping sideways; Currentsβ most replayed four minutes:
-
Mitski β My Love Mine All Mine β a hushed slow-waltz asking the moon for a favour; barely two minutes and it lands every time:
-
Tyler, The Creator, Kali Uchis β See You Again β Flower Boyβs daydream: soft chords and a crush described like weather:
-
Arctic Monkeys β I Wanna Be Yours β John Cooper Clarkeβs poem set to AMβs slowest, heaviest crawl.
-
Hozier β Too Sweet β bluesy swagger built on a chorus about black coffee and whiskey.
-
The White Stripes β Seven Nation Army β the riff. Two people, no bass player, and a stadium chant anyway.
-
YamΓͺ, COLORS β BΓ©cane - A COLORS SHOW β the session that broke him out: French rap that drops into half-time singing.
-
Childish Gambino β Heartbeat β Campβs centrepiece, a piano loop that keeps escalating until it snaps.
-
AJ Tracey β Ladbroke Grove β UK garage revival with a west London postcode on it; skips the whole way through.
-
DeVotchKa, Mychael Danna β The Winner Is β Little Miss Sunshineβs closing theme: slow brass, quietly devastating.
