3029454, New Release Friday - 2021-01-01 and 2020-12-25

I'll go ahead and throw this up even though it's late. And since we didn't do one for 12/25, add anything from the last week or two of 2020 that we might have missed or caught your eye.

I don't have much to share but do know that there was a new Four Tet record on 12/25, "Parallel"

Also a new RAP Ferreira album dropped on 1/1, "bob's son" (listened through yesterday, really enjoyed it on first run through).

I know other stuff dropped but my guess is not a ton because of the holidays. What else have you listened to?

Just found this linked on the bandcamp page for bob's son, which notes that it is an ode to Bob Kaufman, the beat poet:

Kind of a cool throwback to interactive late 90s/early 2000s website promos for albums and such. Haven't dug into it yet but looking forward to it.

Little Dragon & Moses Sumney - The Other Lover

I'm not a big Little Dragon fan but I like this a lot and Sumney kills it on the vocals, especially around the halfway point.

HAIM - 3 AM remix by Toro y Moi

I don't know why but this feels like a late 90s/early 00s pop "alternative" radio jam except, you know, really good. The original already had a bit of that vibe, the remix doubles down on it in the best way.
