The week after Thanksgiving is never a huge time for music. Fourth-quarter albums are all waiting for that perfect pre-holiday spot, and artists are usually in enough of a post-turkey stupor that dropping new tracks isn't a high priority. That being said, we should be doubly thankful that we've got so many great new tunes this week, from Little Boots' new EP to a stunning---if completely raw and low-quality---snippet of whatever Frank Ocean has been up to since Channel Orange. Mixed in there are a track from She & Him's new album of covers, along with a standout from A$AP Ferg's brand-new tape, and now we're going to stop because we just mentioned Ferg and She & Him in the same sentence and all is right with the universe.
As usual, we’ve added the tracks to our ongoing Spotify playlist of great new music, and created a standalone playlist (below). Keep the recommendations coming.
The tracks:
She & Him, "Time After Time"
Fredwave, "Home"
Donnie Trumpet and The Social Experiment, "Sunday Candy"
Deer Tick, "White Havoc"
Little Boots, "Pretty Tough"
De La Soul feat. Chuck D, "The People"
Wu-Tang Clan, "A Better Tomorrow"
A$AP Ferg feat. MIA and Crystal Caine, "Reloaded Let it Go 2"
