Glastonbury 2020 sold out in 34 minutes this year, leaving more than a million people in agonising disappointment for choosing the cheapest, slowest internet providing service. Thankfully, we’ve put together a nourishing playlist of brand new music to help soothe your rage.
You Look Certain (I’m Not So Sure) by Mount Kimbie
English electronic duo Mount Kimbie have released a brand new delicate and guitar-heavy track this week, ‘You Look Certain (I’m Not So Sure)’. Featuring vocals from London based singer/producer Andrea Balency, the track incorporates quite a synthetic production on the raw tracking.
You Did It Yourself by Arthur Russell
American cellist, experimental composer and avant-garde artist, Arthur Russell has had the first of 19 tracks released in celebration of the fallen visionary. Heralded for his influence and forward thinking approach to music, ‘You Did It Yourself’ boasts a plethora of interesting production/songwriting techniques and even subtly hints towards current genre stylings.
Home by Caribou
Long and far between releases, ‘Home’ is the first we’ve heard from Caribou in five years. An undeniable R&B throwback, this new track is a proud and welcoming jam and an extremely exciting sign for things to come from the Canadian producer.
Hero by Michael Kiwanuka
Beloved London soul and blues songwriter, Michael Kiwanuka is back with a fuzz-wah shaker, ‘Hero’. The third instalment in the lead up to the release of his highly anticipated album, KIWANUKA, this new track joins the flanging ‘Money’ and ripped-apart saxophone boogie ‘You Ain’t The Problem’.
Terra Firma by Franc Moody
London dance powerhouse Franc Moody have released ‘Terra Firma’, a tumblingly harmonising boogie with plenty of slapback guitar and their signature clap sound. Translated from Latin, Terra Firma means Firm Land, an honest foundation set by the DIY duo as they prepare to lay down some serious fire.
