Packed until laden with twenty-five new videos and songs, this iteration of tracks of the week might feel heavy enough to fall through the earth, but dense and weighty efforts from Grimes, Future, Vildhjarta, and Beck teeter on strings as DJ Shadow, Dogleg, Kedr Livanskiy, and Vince Staples are among those providing the uplift. Even Danny Brown, JPEGMAFIA, and Nick Cave buzz and brim and burn with a bit of optimism while remaining firmly tethered. There are late-night moods courtesy of BAMBII, Elley DuhĆ©, and Syd, Princess Nokia breaks down boundaries of fashion, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy squints out with a squid eye, and whether evoking the natural world or surfing in the mids, Bill Fay, Shida Shahabi, and Okay Kaya keep it grounded.
