Our #SongOfTheDay is "England is a Bitch" by Bristol producer Gallegos. Spoken word from poet Linton Kwesi Johnson, a haunting flute figure and those drums!

Our #SongoftheDay is the passionate fireball that is Maruja's "Look Down on Us". It is an absolute scorcher, as the band fires on all cylinders throughout, with a contemplative break at the halfway point. Turn it up!

Seattle-based collective Khu.éex’ has been producing funk and soul informed by indigenous experience since 2013. "We Pray" from their latest album, complete with Tlingit (we think) rapping, is #SongOfTheDay.

Mixing alt-rock and shoegaze with sprinkles of dream pop on top goes a long way for Nara's Room, a band that likes to work some sweet jangle into rough noise in creative ways.

Our #SongoftheDay is "Swollen Thankles" by The Dwarfs of East Agouza. A wobbly, trippy piece that eases us into their recent release "Sasquatch Landslide" ... and serves a gateway to all that's in there to process.

Russian band ГШ (originally Glintshake) developed a distinct sound in the '10s that mixed post-punk with avant-garde anxieties, leading to angular music with sharp edges that was stylistically imaginative as it was irresistibly catchy.

Her New Knife's "purepurepure" sounds like the soundtrack for a noir film about a lost soul descending into the dark crevices of an industrial nightmare. And well ... we love that. So it's our #SongoftheDay.

Seattle alt-rockers Anthers have a knack for bursting with high power, which is what they do on "Blow Mold", our #SongoftheDay. The hook is simple but very effective. Explosive stuff.

Our #SongOfTheDay is "Light" by Demae. A kind of unconventional soul tune with her voice, sometimes breathy, sometimes soaring, but always piercing through woozy, warped instrumentation. Beautiful.
