#diSKOAverweekly: Week of November 13, 2019
Yeah yeah yeah I know what you’re thinking and you’re right: it HAS been awhile since I gave this an update.
Honestly? Got real sad. 😑
My bad.
Anyway yer girl is getting back into the swing of things and I have some extra tasty treats as a means to make up for all the time you went without me being around.
Here are this week’s picks!
Classixx - “Love Me No More”
I cannot tell you how relieved I am that LA duo Classixx finally popped their heads up in 2019. I want more french touch vibes from these guys and I want it now! Such a beautiful tribute to Philippe Zdar.
Mason - “Take It Down (feat. SLANG) - Radio Edit”
Trying to think of a subpar Mason song and I don’t believe it exists. Dude is so 🔥
Tom Aspaul - “Traces”
I need all of the Black Country Disco and I need it NOW, TOM! (PS this song is very fun to sing along to while you’re walking home drunk from a night out, which feels very appropriate if you follow Tom on Instagram.)
Timi Temple - “Quick Words, Long Trouble”
The wonder from down under keeps cranking out some rocktastic jamz.
Trunky Juno - “It’s A Trip”
Dream pop perfection + cute pups = why I love Trunky Juno so hard. PS the dog in the artwork this time around is named BRUCE. 😭
Bombay Bicycle Club - “Eat, Sleep, Wake (Nothing But You) - Single Version”
First taste of album #5 has me hungry for more that’s for sure!
BAMBARA - “Serafina”
Fun true story I fell for this band courtesy of a shaky cam video of a show my friend was at. If you know me you know how much I fucking hate people who a) incessantly take videos at shows, b) do a terrible job of recording said show aka not holding still to get watchable footage, and c) post them on the internet as if anyone cares. Speaks to how good these guys are tbh.
Terrell Hines - “Feel Good”
You might have caught a clip of another track from Terrell during the Apple keynote when they unveiled the iPhone 11. In addition to an impending feature on the new Beck album that’s dropping next week he’s got three tracks of his own in the wild including this one which is by far my favorite. It was kind of my medicine for a minute. Excited to hear his collab with my favorite person on the planet.
Denitia - “Place To Be”
Brooklyn bedroom pop bb Denitia just dropped her debut album Touch of the Sky last week, giving you plenty of time to add her to your year end list.
Alae - “Hit Me Where It Hurts”
Not only is this the perfect bop for sad people dancing, but the video for it is hysterical.
Blackbird Blackbird - “Myself”
My taco bae’s sound is aging like a fine wine. 💖
NASAYA - “PLASTIC STRAW (feat. Tim Atlas)”
This song is very good and is safe for marine animals. Also Tim Atlas seems to be everywhere and I am HERE FOR IT.
Pretty Sister - “Happy (feat. MarLo & Perri)”
LA’s Pretty Sister has consistently dropped pure feel good vibes and I am grateful for the bottled sunshine here in frigid ass Brooklyn.
LP GIOBBI - “Jungle Queen (feat. TT The Artist)”
I don’t have a playlist solely for hype songs but I might have to start one so I never forget what a bad bitch I am (because let’s face it I could never forget how badass LP Giobbi is).
MISSIO - “Audi A4”
I got distracted from MISSIO in the middle of the year and finally carved out time to listen to their record, The Darker The Weather // The Better The Man and good LORDE is it full of bangers.
Fly By Midnight - “Love Me Like A Friend”
This pair of friends I met at a mixer a year or so ago have been climbing the ranks with every track they release. They’ve really perfected that perfect blend of radio friendly pop-rock
