ANOHNI and the Johnsons - My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross
100
“And in this society / A scapegoat is all I can be”

The first Anohni and the Johnsons album since 2010's Swanlights (and Anohni's official follow-up to her 2015 solo debut HOPELESSNESS) is one of the year's most pertinent records. Full of ruminations on a world that cannot sustain itself, My Back Was a Bridge for You to Cross is the perfect expansion of Anohni's previous work, exploring greed, violence, capitalism, and their impact on the world as we know it – this time, ... read more

Adrianne Lenker - i won’t let go of your hand

A small, gorgeous collection of tunes that serves both an appetizer for the full release of Bright Future next week, as well as a beacon of light in these trying times.
Adrianne has dedicated all proceeds from this exclusive release on her Bandcamp page to the Palestinian Child Relief Fund. If It's within your means, the $10 price point is definitely worth it.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Kelela - RAVE:N, The Remixes
80
Released a day short of its mother album's first anniversary, RAVE:N is a ginormous package deal for fans of the fantastic original version of Raven. Building upon its predecessor's themes and ruminations on dance music, its black origins, and Kelela's feelings isolated within its scene, RAVE:N feels like the natural evolution of an already monumental and fully formed project. With collaboration from returning players from the Take Me Apart remix album and new collaborators alike, RAVE:N ... read more

Yoo what's up apoto! I'm making a list of nostalgia bangers. These are albums and singles that take you back to when you were younger and put a smile on your face with memories. So drop the rec by responding!😎

Hey apotofstu!

I just got to 500 followers, that’s unreal! I cannot overstate how grateful I am to have you among the 500.

Now, I’ve never done one of these before, but I am gonna try my hand at a community list. The topic? Integer underflow songs. Songs so unbelievably bad they become awesome. Basically songs that are “so bad they’re good” but taken to the absolute extreme.

I would like to limit people to just one song, but if you think an album statement is more apt for the description than any of its individual songs, that is fine, but please only submit one album in that case.

If you don’t want to participate, please ignore this, but if you do, please let me know your pick!

I plan to have the list published by the 24th.

Once again, thank you so much!
