Prestige Format Picks 🧸 6 August 2024
Hold on...I'm Overstimulated
it’s tuesday
This week I have six albums for you—but only 4 are on streaming services. Links for them are in the playlists (rather than broken out per album) AND I have a new section with some good things to check out on the youtubes.
Playlists
Bandcamp
Spotify
Apple Music
Teen Daze - Elegant Rhythms
This album catches Teen Daze in a smooth synthesized pop mode but more contemplative and chill compared to the retro sounds of fellow Canadians Chromeo. Super vibey and a little bit of a downer, this is an album to listen to in a dark room with the blinds cracked and a glass of wine.
Michael & The Mighty Midnight Revival - Songs for Sinners & Saints
Atlanta rap staple, guest on multiple Outkast tracks, one half of Run the Jewels, Killer Mike is a rap legend. This is a gospel hip hop album but it’s definitely not a Kirk Franklin album. Tons of guests show up and every’s having a lot of fun on this one.
Trash Can Lamb - K Freund
Found out about this one from this great interview that gets real in depth with gear and stuff. I don’t know the proper name for this genre (if one exists) but this is like ASMR for people who like jazz and glitch. You’ll know within about a minute if it’s for you or not but it was VERY FOR ME.
Oneida - Expensive Air
Post-punk is such a lazy name for music. This is just one of the avenues that punk music took during its journey through the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It’s driving and intense, with lots of energy. Put this in your ears and you’ll be punching the air and ready to rage.
Cayce Crane - Jidaigeki Groove
One of a couple of albums that are Bandcamp-only this week, this is an album of songs built from a Sega Genesis emulator, inspired by Japanese Edo-era period dramas. Super chill and the album I’ve probably spun the most in the last week.
Parannoul - Sky Hundred
Surprise-released on Friday, this is another perfect slab of that wall of sound pop perfection from underground star Parannoul. This will make your heart soar!
Here are some cool links
Yuka Honda and Nels Cline jam - you might know her from Cibo Matto, and him from Wilco. This really gets cooking about 9 minutes in.
Are you getting into ‘hit em’ music? It was literally dreamt up by Drew Daniel from Matmos
