Yeh Yeh Yeh: GeGeGe
We’ve been on a bit of an indie-pop kick this week, so let’s keep it up with Kanazawa outfit GeGeGe, who will be releasing an EP via Dead Funny Records early in February. They’ve shared two tracks from it, and they are a nice mix of jogging, Wild-Nothing-inspired rock and a sparser electronic mumbler that…
New SNJO: “Time” Featuring Sola The Luva

New X-Files: Wall Street
The world X-Files inhabits on Wall Street is a depressing, at times constricting one. The project’s music…jumping between lonely ambient to more unhinged noise…has always brought to mind empty city streets, bathed in a little neon from nearby signs but ultimately feeling empty. Wall Street ups the solitude up significantly, featuring some of X-Files’ most…
