Saw this electro-acoustic cloud trio at the Avalon last night and was impressed by their live set. They pulled structure out of some interesting moments. Great set of WWII-era oscillators among their gear pile. Curious to sit down with this new EP.

When everyone was sharing Spotify wrapped, I thunk to myself how much I missed music blogs, & thoughtful recommendations by lovers of music, not just data recaps. Thankfully, @listeninghabit.bsky.social still has one. A Saturday inbox blessing, each week.

A high-energy, uptempo guitar-funk edit that'll have you jumping up and down when the horns hit. This comes from a busy Brazilian label.

This recent EP from Lapalux is a stunner, if you’re looking for something in the vein Aphex Twin circa Windowlicker. Glitchy yet beautiful.
