So on November 8, we could be about to enter the apocalypse, unless someone does THIS (click here) in real life – which let’s be real, would be pretty fucking great.
With that in mind, I’d recommend this playlist on Spotify, but also some new gems that are out this fall…enjoy.
First up, if you haven’t streamed Cruel Youth’s +30mg EP – you absolutely must – such a beautiful and intriguing body of work. Watch the Diamond Days video below too.
Next up is a double a-side from electronic duo Empathy Test. Both Seeing Stars and Demons sit really beautifully together, opening with cinematic synth production (Adam Relf) and a sad core yet haunting vocals from Isaac Howlett – the repetition, although frequent, doesn’t wear thin, it just cements and builds on emotion.
Onto The Weeknd, I’ve been obsessed with Starboy since it dropped last month – the shameless pop production is more than totally fine with me – I know it alienated a lot of fans, but I think Daft Punk and Abel have created a great track here.
Last but not least, here’s the Mogul remix of Ady Suleiman’s Wait For You, who is fresh off the festival circuit after performing at V and Glastonbury.
I’ll probably do another Fall post this month, considering Joanne is out on Friday. I was lucky enough to be at the listening party in NYC last month, but signed my life away, so can’t share any details – other than the fact that humanity will be receiving an incredible piece of artistry. Lennon mindset for today. Where are our leaders? I’d rather save an Angel Down.
