The stunning new grindcore project DUMA from two veterans of the Nairobi metal scene, the multidisciplinary artist Duval Timothy from London by way of Sierra Leone, Klein and a coming to Jesus, and mechanised yearning from the Tokyo-trapped ZOMBIE-CHANG rev the engines behind this iteration of tracks of the week. Jamila Woods draws inspiration from Toni Morrison, Phil Elverum revives The Microphones and surveys the scene, while Mary Chapin Carpenter expounds an American archetype. Ebullient rhythms from 2Baba and Wizkid and the pitch-perfect coupling of 645AR and FKA twigs exemplify collaboration, alongside Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, Conway the Machine and Method Man, and Popcaan, Drake, and PARTYNEXTDOOR. Plus new music from Tkay Maidza, Palberta, Payroll Giovanni, Max Richter, DaBaby, Bon Iver, and Ivorian Doll.
