80s nostalgic vibes. Don’t you wish all breakups were this fun sounding?

Automatic – Lazy

Is It Now? Out September 26 Via Stones Throw

A track that’s anything but lethargic. Keepen an eye on these ones. 

 

The Boojums – Wings of Fire

Doubtful these lot have ever boon boo’d.

 

Tiberius Wright – Felt

Out Now Via Audio Antihero

A track boasting a Sisyphusian effort that flows as well as it twist-turns. 

 

Alexei Shishkin – Ode To Carl Dennis

Out Now Via Rue Defense 

A great one to get your slouch on catching up with a friend over a beer. Play this at my wake. 

 

The Noisy – Grenadine 

A song that reminds us of nights that start at 3am with someone tapping on your window (that’s not trying to kill you) with their car idling down the block, because your parents are immigrants and they would literally kill you rather than letting you have one adventure at an unsociable hour, if they heard the engine block sputtering away because everyone you know drives a piece of shit and is one too.
