What's Good (Week of 2/23/25)
February is nearly in the rearview, and with a year's worth of bullshit having been endured this month, I'm sure you could use a breather. Take a load off and tap in with What's Good. This week, we've got:
New Albums
- Boldy James & Chuck Strangers
- Deep Sea Diver
- Milc & Televangel
- Miya Folick
- Queen Herawin
New Singles
- Backxwash
- Dying Wish
- Infinity Knives & Brian Ennals
- sleepingdogs
- Show You Suck
And a ton more. Seriously, it's not a good week for much, but the music provides. First up, a couple of Bonus Beats.
Bonus Beats
Henry Canyons tapped in with Gary Suarez for an interview on Radio Free Cabbages to discuss the former's first album in 7 years, Educated Guesses with Fresh Kils. Along with details on the new LP, they got into how his surroundings and traveling affect his writing, given his stints in France and L.A.
Kelela takes us behind the scenes of In The Blue Light, with footage of rehersal, recording, and the night of the concert at the Blue Note, all with commentary from Kelela herself.
