Disclosure: Settle
Probably going to end up being one of our favourite dance albums by the end of the year.
Asahi Malaysia Pres. JUICE Curates: ‘The Party’s Over, Put Your Pants Back On’ Mix by Mmmeng
It’s the debut of our new monthly column, Asahi Malaysia Presents JUICE Curates. Each month we pick a DJ or tastemaker of our liking and get them to do a curated mix — this ain’t just your weekly clubbing music.
JMSN: A Shot of Jameson
While Justin Timberlake’s seminal third album was a reaction to the new wave of outré r’n’b acts, last year already had an oft-forgotten soulful white boy reacting to that kind of music; JMSN (pronounced Jameson, like the liquor).
Mount Kimbie: Cold Spring Fault Less Youth
A respectable follow-up album by the UK’s best recent act.
Kurt Vile: Wakin On a Pretty Daze
It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you prefer sipping on your tea laced with hallucinogenic on a quiet day, Kurt Vile’s the man.
Vampire Weekend: Fame & Theology
You’d think a song title that subverts the most popular song of the ‘00s could only mean fun Vampire Weekend, but here Ezra Koenig decided to go profound.
Chance the Rapper: Take a Puff, Take a Chance
Chance is the bastard child of Ol’ Dirty Bastard and Slimkid3 (of the Pharcyde) had he inherited the former’s endearingly atrocious singing and personality and the latter’s flow and everyman relatability.
Charli XCX: True Romance
Charli XCX — much like Quentin Tarantino, writer of her album title’s namesake himself — is an era-appropriator who knows her pop culture well enough.
The Knife: Shaking the Habitual
The Knife stripped themselves of what they knew and reconstruct their sound with Shaking the Habitual.
Young Fathers: Old Heads, Young Shoulders
Who knew Scotland could produce a promising rap trio?
