Distant echoey strumming and softly cooed vocals from guy who does that for a living, S. Carey.

2018 Playlist: Colorful – Hovvdy
Look, I don’t mind Hovvdy using two v’s for a w, but Colorful should be spelled with a u.
2018 Playlist: 5200 Maxo Kream
I might have mentioned before, but I suck at writing about hip hop, rap, trap etc. (“You suck at everything else too!” Yeah, fair cop…) Here’s Maxo Kream‘s 5200. It’s good, just don’t expect me to tell you for why.
2018 Playlist: (Be) Toro Y Moi
Toro Y Moi‘s (Be) is some sparse-ass chill bedroom-pop that staunchly refuses to ever kick off, content instead to thrum and whirr and god damn it’s real nice, folks.
2018 Playlist: TTYL – Morabeza Tobacco
Full disclosure: found Morabeza Tobacco‘s TTYL on Pitchfork’s generally excellent ‘What’s Good‘ playlist and it’s probably not the last time I’ll pilfer from that. Sounds like an off-cut from the soundtrack to Drive. Hazy as all fuck.
2018 Playlist: There Are a Thousand – Helena Deland
Helena Deland‘s There Are a Thousand is a fucking doozy. It’s just deeply, thoroughly satisfying thing after thing.
2018 Playlist: I’m Not Singing For You – Euphoria Again / Fog Lake
Taken from the same EP as Fog Lake‘s Dying Out East, I’m Not Singing For You ( Euphoria Again) reminds me of The Sleepy Jackson, that band that the Empire of the Sun guy was in before he started wearing big feathered head-dresses.
