On fridays we get a batch of steaming fresh tracks on our Release Radar playlists from Spotify, and this last friday was no exception! I will list my three favourite tracks down below, without any particual order.
The first track this week is Baianá by Nia Archives. I first fell upon Nia Archives in a reddit thread in the subreddit called ElectronicMusic, where a user was asking for electronic music by women. One user made a big list containing of artists, and one of those was Nia Archives. I got very interested because if the variety of different sounds Nia uses in her tracks, some tracks sound very much like classic jungle, and some tracks have heavy jazz/hiphop/soul influences.
The second track this week is Fossora by Björk, Kasimyn. Sometimes i get a feeling that the icelandic prodigy Björk can do nothing wrong in the musical sphere. This song shares the same name as Björks new album, that was released the 30th of September, 2022, an album i will be sure to check out. However this track is a hard hitting song with some almost hardcore electronic vibes towards the end of it. I find it interesting, and i’m intrigued to hear how the rest of the album sounds, if it follows in the same footsteps as this single.
The third and final track from this weeks Release Radar is Darby Crashing Your Party by NOFX. The veteran and legendary punk band NOFX has been putting out music for decades, and this single is on point. It sounds like NOFX, the familiar voice from Fat Mike, combined with the quick and heavy instrumentals from the rest of the band, mixed with lyrics that often puts the tip of the finger of the issues in the world.
Until next time, take care.
SLQT.
