On ‘peak chroma’ the experimental composer claire rousay uses snippets of conversation, faintly melodious autotune, ambient droning and the sinking cello of Lia Kohl to linger on the cusp of the end of a relationship. On ‘White Dress’, Lana Del Rey dwells in the sun-dappled time before fame. From Senegal, Wau Wau Collectif weave sunshine dubs out of saxophone and loping percussion, while the Danish producer Xuri sculpts club sounds into something more monumental with the aid of the French duo Lueurs Nocturnes.
Glüme, the self-styled ‘Walmart Marilyn Monroe’, preps her debut for Italians Do It Better. Benny the Butcher and Harry Fraud pay homage to Scarface and other kingpins on The Plugs I Met 2. There are new videos from E-40, Purity Ring, and Kali Uchis, while Naoko Sakata, Mykki Blanco, Paris Texas, Saba, and Arooj Aftab round out the songs.
