On Rotation – April

on rotation - April

 

Time flies, and so do new music releases.  In an attempt to attach longevity to music, and a timestamp to our soundtracks here is my 18th monthly on rotation playlist.  It’s alive, so subscribe for updates throughout the month of the best new music.

Weekly Digest

freshness
Take a deep breath of the fresh optimistic air, only slightly cool, and teasing of city bike rides and days spent sunning in the park as you scope out this week’s digest, with its completely fresh selection of new artists, plus some impressive and controversial releases from well known faces.  As in, is this Daft Punk/Jay Z song a real thing?  And why isn’t it better?  On the flipside this new track from Mykki Blanco is sick, and youthful ( 😉 ).  However, the star of this playlist is Holiday Sidewinder.  A newcomer with an original moniker, her track is like a poppy shoutout to Metronomy’s past, or an iteration of what shimmers through my brain as I sit on a beach with sunglasses that illicit a vintage filter.

Oh Also, it’s no news that I’m a big fan of Marlene, and this track with Ji Nilsson doesn’t disappoint.  Someone transport me to the nordic countries please, it’s clearly a happening right now.

On Rotation – March

March Rotation

There are moments of teasing cool gusts of wind, or the chirping of a bird outside your window, that remind you of the beauty that warmth brings into the world (before then remembering the constant and unbearable weight of summer heat).  This playlist is in reverence of the blooming of new things, and with new releases from tons of new artists as well as some career making moments from our old favorites, what better time than now for Spring to harken our musical musings?

Weekly Digest

Weekly 31

This week’s digest is packing some heavy punches.  Kicking things off with Kelela’s stunning new track High, followed by Beyoncé producing/writing Boots and his second solo cut.  Little Dragon premiered a track from their new album this week, and it is mind blowing.  A few new artists are followed by a cover of Dreams and Chvrches taking on the Arctic Monkeys.
