Ann Arbor’s Jeremy Malvin dropped his seven-track My < 3 (that’s my “heart”, the space is added as it breaks the blog formatting) album on Bandcamp a few weeks ago for a “name your price” download. My < 3 is twinkling chillwave pop that keeps its focus thanks to click clacking heartening beats. Steffaloo (who did a couple of tracks with Blackbird Blackbird) contributes vocals to a few songs on it. It’s perfect headphone music.
