mewithoutYou - Lilac Queen

Inspired by Keegan Bradford's fantastic 10th anniversary piece for Stereogum, a deep cut from my favorite mewithoutYou album.

I was born of a thought of mine...

Song of the Week 05/30/2025

DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ - Search for the Feeling (On and On)

DJ Sabrina is back with another track that sounds like you fell asleep while watching VH1 in the late 90s and it all started bleeding together in your dreams. Late post this week but just know that this song went off at my daughter's first birthday party this weekend. A perfect soundtrack to bliss.

Laura Stevenson - Honey

Indie legend Laura Stevenson is back with a vocal performance that has more peaks and valleys than a roller coaster

Song of the Week 05/16/2025

Djrum - Out of Dust

How can a track be tranquil and hammering at the same time? A mesmerizing mix of idyllic synth, contemplative piano, wistful cello, and absolute machine-gun beats emptying a full clip over everything.

Song of the Week 05/09/2025

PinkPantheress - Nice to Know You

I never really got into PinkPantheress before, but this sounds like Burial making straight-up pop music

Song of the Week 04/25/2025

The Mountain Goats - Dinu Lipatti's Bones

Happy (?) 20 years to The Sunset Tree! I'm pretty sure this was the first Mountain Goats song I ever heard, in my friend's car, senior year of high school, and I immediately fell in love. A lot of the music I listened to in high school is stuff I can revisit with a certain nostalgic remove, a sort of "Haha, I remember when I loved this", but The Sunset Tree feels vital to this day.

Song of the Week 04/18/2025

Greet Death - Country Girl

The kings and queens of feel-bad mopegaze are back! And they've got lyrics about John Carpenter's Halloween? Be still, my heart!

lanterns in chinatown sway

and i am astonished

how can a city move without you?

Happy Avril 14 to those who celebrate! Here is a lovely pedal steel version that I might honestly like even more than the original.

Song of the Week 04/11/2025

Chumbawamba - Pickle

Admittedly, I chose this song mostly because I've been calling my baby daughter "pickle" and it just kind of popped into my head, but it's also just a fun dig at people who treat music like a status object instead of a living thing, meant to be, you know, listened to. God, I miss Chumbawamba.
