Fickle Friends
A discovery at Brighton Pride today (along with Years & Years and DJ Missy B) was a set by Brighton locals Fickle Friends, they seem quirkier and beat-ier on stage, but love ‘Swim’, ‘Velvet’ and ‘Paris (Chimes remix)’. Great video as well, all about drowning in your partner’s emotional baggage according to the band. Listening…

John Criscitello and Seattle Gentrification

A few years ago I was all about what later got called ‘Cloud Rap’ – Main Attracktionz, Babe Rainbow, Odd Future – I saw it as the hip hop successor to witch house and an extension of IDM. I tuned out, partly because the lyrical content wasn’t there, and listening now to the more recent…
