So, it looks like the legendary evil supervillain MF Doom is releasing a new album via Adult Swim who’s releasing a new song a week; I’m going to try and cover them all right here on rrrepeat! MF Doom is one of my favorite rappers…
Grandma Hips – Your Old Droog
If you’re a hip hop head and haven’t heard of Your Old Droog yet, you’re in a trouble bubble. Your Old Droog’s latest LP, “Packs,” isn’t something to sleep on. The obvious standout on this avalanche of lyricism is “Grandma Hips,” and one reason is…
On Call – White Cliffs
White Cliffs is originally a remix artist, remixing everything from Beba Rexha to Lykke Li’s recent super group Livs. The producer is now taking things a step further with a completely originally jam and features his own vocals as well. It’s not every day a…
Popular Manipulations – The Districts
With indie rock’s domination of clubs, arenas and festivals for the majority of this decade, it’s easy to see how some people grow tired of the same old formula indie rock has hummed along to. Every once and awhile a band comes along or creates…
Cage Tropical – Frankie Rose
I was only going to review one song from Brooklyn dream pop enigma Frankie Rose’s third LP Cage Tropical, but picking just one song wouldn’t do this album justice. This album is as diverse as it is immense. There are so many genres packed into it…

Try – Soccer Mommy
Forgive me for writing about a group called Soccer Mommy but when I listened I had to. Soccer Mommey came onto my radar somehow and they are just making this chill jams I have been into lately. Try is my favorite song I’ve heard from…
Sugar – Nvdes
I think the first time I heard Nvdes was while I was perusing through Old Navy looking for more clothes to add to my “blend in” wardrobe. It was a Pierce Fulton song featuring Nvdes, “Borrowed Lives.” I couldn’t get it out of my head…
ur phone – Boy Pablo
I love getting surprise music recommendations from friends. Even better when the surprise turns out to be a truly great band or song. A friend sent me this incredibly goofy video for the song “Everytime” by the Norwegian band Boy Pablo and I was hooked….
Dream of You – Nite
It’s no question that 80’s synth pop has had a huge influence on a lot of artists this decade. This is especially evident in Nite’s newest album Reborn, in which they successfully take listeners back to a decade dominated by synth pop from the likes…
