Album Review: A Groovy Thing – Flamingosis

Flamingosis’s career has spanned just over six years—from Summer Heat Vol. 2 in 2011 to the harrowing A Groovy Thing released this week in 2017, he has made a career out of computer-generated jazzy funk.

Essentials: “Fever” – Brasstracks

The latest effort by Brasstracks is evidence that a producer or artist does not have to utilize exclusively electronic sounds to create a masterpiece.

What Wine Pairs Best With Murlo’s i-D Mix?

Sitting on my couch drinking a Cinsaut that I absolutely hate, I’m listening to Murlo‘s i-D mix and wondering what might taste better as I listen to this excavation into complex, scattered, new-age sounds. I love Murlo, and anyone who follows me on Twitter is well aware of my stan-level fandom. I also love wine, [continued]
Album Review: Flower Boy – Tyler, The Creator

To talk about Tyler, The Creator’s Flower Boy, it is inevitable to also have a look at his previous work and artistic mindset. Bastard and Goblin, his first publically well-perceived albums, were shaped by a very aggressive musical production and according NSFW lyrics.
