24 Aug: “Gumdrops” – SIESKI: A Queer-Coated Sugar Bop for Dreamy Summer Nights

If there was ever a perfect sound for a vibrant summer night, “Gumdrops” by SIESKI would be it. This track, which feels like an auditory offspring of Disclosure and Kimbra, is a radiant queer-coated sugar bop that immerses you in its irresistible rhythm from the first beat. SIESKI, known for her unique ability to blend dreamy soundscapes with alt-pop sensibilities, continues to push boundaries in the Canadian alternative music scene with this latest release.

17 May: “Atavista” – Childish Gambino: Sticking To What He Knows… But We’re Not Mad About It

Childish Gambino surprises us with Atavista, a polished re-release of his 2020 album 3.15.20. Gambino originally released the unfinished record during the Covid-19 pandemic as a rushed love letter to his apocalypse anxiety and to his fans. Needing a master and a mix, Gambino resurfaced the entire album and dropped it alongside a list of tour dates. Atavista is an intimate album that somehow maintains oodles of mystique and disconnectivity. The words to the songs are new, but the album’s sound isn’t anything that we haven’t heard from Gambino before.
