Most shit doesn’t matter but this shit does. 

 

The Wild Things – I Can’t Wait

80s nostalgic vibes. Don’t you wish all breakups were this fun sounding?

 

Daffo – Dagger Song

Where the Earth Bends Out September 26 Via Concord Records

Tunes like these are why everyone memorises the lyrics to sing back to them before their gigs. 

 

Pile – Deep Clay

Those signature vocals shine through with some shiny new tunes to back-em-up. 

 

Automatic – Lazy

Is It Now? Out September 26 Via Stones Throw

A track that’s anything but lethargic. Keepen an eye on these ones. 

 

The Boojums – Wings of Fire

Doubtful these lot have ever boon boo’d.

 

Tiberius Wright – Felt

Out Now Via Audio Antihero

A track boasting a Sisyphusian effort that flows as well as it twist-turns. 

 

Alexei Shishkin – Ode To Carl Dennis

Out Now Via Rue Defense 

A great one to get your slouch on catching up with a friend over a beer. Play this at my wake. 

 

The Noisy – Grenadine 

A song that reminds us of nights that start at 3am with someone tapping on your window (that’s not trying to kill you) with their car idling down the block, because your parents are immigrants and they would literally kill you rather than letting you have one adventure at an unsociable hour, if they heard the engine block sputtering away because everyone you know drives a piece of shit and is one too.

Out Now Via Partisan Records

Never been a fan of F DC but credit where credit’s due. This is a {/youtube}beautiful track.

The algorithm set Tom Waits’ Hope I Don’t Fall In Love With You to play after Topic. That says it all for us.
