A bit more poppy and polished than previous releases, but still a solid outing from my favorite noise pop duo. Alexis’ vocals really shine on this record and Derrick’s guitar work slays as always. This track is basically a super catchy, pop song on roids.
♩ Sleigh Bells – I Can’t Stand You Anymore [from Jessica Rabbit]
Perfect track to kick off one of the year’s best albums. Hands down one of my favorite overall songs of the year. I love that artists like Chance are getting their due and succeeding on their terms.
♩ Chance The Rapper – All We Got (ft. Kanye West & Chicago Children’s Choir) [from Coloring Book]

One of my favorite discoveries this year and I can’t get enough of this title track. Don’t be fooled by the minimalist package, because hiding within are layers of fuzzy synths, heavy lyrics, dreamy vocals, and unleashed sax to wrap it all up at the end.
♩ Dyan – Looking for Knives [from Looking for Knives]
