Posted by 1 site • On Bandcamp • Also on: Spotify
LA-based rapper and producer Chuck Strangers just released A Forsaken Lover's Plea. "Chuck fills this album with eerie, minimal soundscapes and a quietly commanding lyrical style. Sometimes it sounds like the '90s, other times it sounds like the future," writes BrooklynVegan.

Fabiana Palladino - Stay With Me Through The Night

Posted by 1 site • On Bandcamp • Also on: Spotify
After years of buzz, London songwriter Fabiana Palladino has announced her self-titled debut album through Paul Institute / XL Recordings. Teases and Dares says, "We're getting '80s sophistisoul (Brenda Russell, Taja Sevelle, Cherelle, Mica Paris) meets first album Jessie Ware and also a bit of Ainslie Wills' 'Hawaii.'"

Manuka Honey, Safety Trance - I Like It feat. La Favi

The latest EP from London's Manuka Honey flexes an experimental take on deep reggaeton. Resident Advisor cites her "understanding of cutting-edge club culture combined with her unique emo-leaning flair." It's out on Club Romantico.

Softcult - Haunt You Still

Posted by 2 sites • On Bandcamp • Also on: Spotify
Canadian sibling duo Softcult are readying a new EP that collects several singles released last year, like this one. Stereogum describes it as "a stylish blend of dream-pop, post-punk, and good old-fashioned radio-friendly alt-rock...finding beauty in the static."

astrel k - Darkness At Noon

Posted by 3 sites • On Bandcamp • Also on: Spotify
Swedish artist Rhys Edwards (of Ulrika Spacek) returns to his solo project Astrel K for The Foreign Department. Post-Trash says, "There's equal parts pop sensibility, sweet melancholy, and beautiful song arrangements."
GOOD MIX
London-based DJ and producer Manuka Honey shares a "soft, sexy, and apocalyptic" mix for Dazed.
GOOD READ

For NPR, Sheldon Pearce on how Chief Keef and MIKE, former rap prodigies, escaped the attention economy:

"Freelancing amid the never-ending churn of playlists with cycles that end quicker than they began and careers that evaporate into the feed with a single scroll, they have grown cult followings willing to shadow them on their adventures."

Thanks for listening!
