FKA twigs has been on the periphery of music that I adore for many years now.. with the rollout for EUSEXUA (out January 24!) I figured it’s as good a time as any to tap in. Drums of Death has an industrial and glitchy sound to it that I can’t get enough of. Coherent lyrics are few and far between, but it makes what cuts through the perilous percussion that much more meaningfu.

Cryptic lyrics on par with Cocteau Twins, but with enough violent energy to rival a teenager on Red Bull. I've been reaching for their music for about ten years now! I'm not gonna stop!

OTTO - Clam Day, so damn punchy and snappy. almost mixed too present but just perfect in execution
Rustie - EVENIFYOUDONTBELIEVE, if you like drums that are distorted to the point of saturation and hit hard enough to snap your neck this is for you
Reso - Tabris, the drum programming on the tracks Tabris and Axion still blow my mind. it sounds like a drum kit thrown into a particle collider
Burial - Burial, drums so swung and off kilter they shouldn’t work. Broken Home and U Hurt Me especially
Flying Lotus - You’re Dead!, varies between maximalist freestyle jazz drumming and sleek stripped back beats

What if the entire Splice library was launched into the ether, prompting a Pokemon-esque scavenger hunt to catch ‘em all? This is what ear pulls off. And yet, the duo’s voices are the best instruments in the mix. Chopped notes and cheeky whispers and sharp breaths abound in their latest singles, “Fetish” and “Valley Serpent.” A cut-and-sew craft project of a song, “Fetish” shows impressive restraint for as long as possible before mutating multiple times. It’s not just a glazed ambient track, or bass-boosted electronic, or .5 speed breakcore. The disjointed lyrics are hypnotically aphasic, as if having a stroke could be a beautiful experience. “Valley Serpent” has the same structureless setup, shrouding a poignant piano ballad in blown-out artificial noise. For all they add, they know when to get minimal. The gentle recitation “feels like a burden” is scripted to haunt. The most Lynchian release of the year! - Madeline Frino

I grew up delivering newspaper with my parents to make ends meet. Thanksgiving was interesting because the paper was thick with Black Friday ads. I went to the dollar store yesterday and saw a Sunday paper for only $2. It was thick with Black Friday ads. Support local journalism so we can have a Secret Third Thing for information, besides social media influencers & major publications like NYT and WaPo.
