Bonus Beats
The listening party for John Wells' new EP I don't wanna die (Pt. 1) (featured in this week's drops) gets vloged, featuring the man himself chatting about the project with listeners and friends.
Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek stopped by the KEXP studios to play some joints from Yarın Yoksa.
In a Big Crown double-header, Thee Marloes also graced the KEXP studios with their presence, playing a short set of songs from their LP Perak, and capped it off with their recent single I'd Be Lost.
Brodie Sessions took Erika de Casier to a house just outside of Copanhagen for a intimate live set.
Friend of the blog and co-writer of the country music newsletter Don't Rock The Inbox Natalie Weiner sat down for an hour-long conversation with 2x GRAMMY Award-winning Jazz vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant.
(Also, on the country music tip, be sure to check Natalie's incredible profile of Amanda Shires for Texas Monthly.)
Prefuse 73 just put the Leftover Textures Mixtape—a "beatless" mixtape, originally done for Giles Peterson's Worldwide FM but never available for purchase—up on his Bandcamp. Cop it right here.
TW: POV of fast driving footage, anyone with motion sickness/vertigo issues potentially.
Lastnamedavid, crafter of some of my favorite beats, takes us on a motorcycle cruise with musical accompaniment.
