Oneohtrix point never - Zebra

I keep promising myself that I'll get past the first three minutes of this track. But the lull in the middle of this track is a baron wasteland in comparison to the jolting, jazzy, energetic opening - OPN's Manhattan time lapse in song.

One day I will get there, but for now I'm happy living in a world where this song doesn't end.

Transviolet - Girls your age

When it comes to Lorde + Lana Del Ray, Transviolet proves that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts (or inspirations).

Girls your age is the quartet's debut, meshing folks-y vocals with stark minimalist electronics. This minimalism continues in the arrangement; there are points where they could have taken it a step further, but they don't. While their restraint is admirable, I like swirling climaxes.

Transviolet remind me of a cleaner, less grungy Warpaint - I'm definitely interested to see what else they have up their sleeves.
 

Jeremy Loops - Down south featuring Motheo Moleko

After an unscheduled hiatus, it is repulsion not love that brings me back. Like life, music criticism / opinion is not all about the good stuff, it's about wading through all the shit too.

Enter Jeremy Loops:
1 - Lifestyle porn does not equal good music
2 - This song completely relies on the mediocre backing singers.

I don't give a fuck if he's got a man-bun, this is utter wank. Don't listen / watch (especially watch, this species of YouTube vermin lives off view counts).
