It's time to look back at all the ace new music you missed in February 2017 because you were too busy composing screeching hot takes on the Oscars or figuring out if you can make money from malted cat hair.
Welcome to this week's collection of best new songs from the last seven (ish) days. Featuring Dirty Projectors, Future Islands, Chance The Rapper, Cowtown, Tennis, Salt Cathedral and Syd.
This week... PINS, Arcade Fire, Thundercat, Missy Elliott, Aristophanes, Bonobo, Anohni and Matt Martians.
This week’s best new songs round-up features Kate Bush, Childish Gambino, Kingdom and so much pedantry you’ll be too angry to click on any of the videos.
I don’t know about you but this new Friday release day for albums is working out really well for me. Instead of spending the whole week desperately cramming in as many albums as I can during lunch-breaks and tube rides, then publishing a hastily thrown together round-up late in the week, days after you’d have heard them already, now I have the whole weekend to leisurely listen to all the new album releases at my own pace. This means I can more carefully choose my words and craft my cogent opinions about how much I fucking hate modern music, all ready for Monday morning. Then I can spend the rest of the week listening to the same Adam and Joe podcasts I’ve been listening to for the last five years.
