The 25 best songs of October

21.

From San Fran producer’s new album Too Real, his collaboration with Michelle Zauner aka Japanese Breakfast is an immediate warm cup of sonics, like a gentle EDM track that works. The album dropped on Ninja Tune’s sublabel Counter Records.

Australian electro pop band return with an under-rated album in Haiku From Zero and this is a standout.

Now officially a duo of Merril Garbus and Nate Brenner, tune-yards will release a fourth record called I can feel you creep into my private life on January 19th. The sound of this song ‘Look At Your Hands’ is a nice taster, it’s more focused, danceable and electronic-leaning while retaining some of that Afro looped pop exuberance that is a key part of the Tune-yards identity.

“Thematically, the twelve new songs tackle race, politics, intersectional feminism and environmental prophecies head on. But in the billows of intense subject matter, the album arrives as Tune-Yards’ most immediate and upbeat music yet – this is music to dance to.|

Another highlight form Permanent Vacation’s 10th anniversary compilation (alongside New Jackson and Margie Lewis).

Effervescent electro pop from Cait and Katie, a duo from Nashville.
