Krautrock, Psychedelic Cumbia, Afrobeats, Colombian House, and other sh*t you’ve never heard of

Mar. 30 – Apr. 11

What We Used to Be — Felipe Gordon

bringing the house down from Colombia

SAYGOODBYE — Skrillex, NJOMZA & swedm®

Skrillex dropped a surprise album on april fools day. from top to bottom, it felt like a throwback to 2012 (i like his 2023 work better)

Spike Island — Pulp

for fans of…Pulp 😂 idk my demo here but here’s some light reading

I Hunt You Prey — L.A. Witch

this song taught me that krautrock is a subgenre

Cumbia Espacial (feat. N. Hardem) — El León Pardo

let the visuals be a cue that he’s saying “spatial/space” and not “special” — this is psychedelic or cosmic cumbia 👽

Tell Me What You Want — Youssou Ndour

this has a smooth-as-butter chorus and some pretty flutes that Coldplay would sure love to steal

Drunk Girls in Bathrooms — Maddie & Tae

the R&B-ification of country music is both fun and upsetting because apparently they’ll let Black people write their songs but won’t let us perform them. shout out to songwriter Jamie Moore for giving us this lil bop!

hope is a dangerous thing from a woman like me to have – but i have it — Loren Kramar

Lana Del Rey cover album; this song is haunting when sung in such low octaves

Don’t Put It All On Me — Noah Cyrus, Fleet Foxes

tbh this sounds like the oscar-bait equivalent of a song but i enjoyed the visuals and having Fleet Foxes back at work

Escapist — DUCKWRTH

had this song come out a few months ago, i might have snuck it into the mariachi post/playlist for its fun use of trumpets!
