In a week when the super-weird Riff Raff finally drops his super-weird full-length, why not celebrate the sublimely left-of-center? First, there’s The Weeknd dispensing with euphemisms and going full NSFW, then some of FKA Twigs’ wild-eyed ethereality. We’re not done yet, though; it’s a litany of high-value Scrabble tiles, from Jamie xx to TCVVX to Zola Jesus! And if Kendrick Lamar spazzing over some free jazz doesn’t sate you, there’s Riff Raff’s surprisingly great album intro and some NYC dancehall from 77Klash and crew. It’s weird. It’s all weird. Just revel in it.
As usual, we’ve added the tracks to our ongoing Spotify playlist of great new music, and created a standalone YouTube playlist for this week. Keep the recommendations coming.
