A Horny Reefer-Fest for Pill-Popping Pedal-Steel Sluts
Plus Afropop charged with the energy of queer club culture, a modern-day hymn from Blood Orange, and more.
Five Songs is a weekly series for paid Hearing Things subscribers in which we each choose a new song we like and write about why we can’t stop listening to it. These are tracks that speak to us in particular, and we have a good feeling they will speak to you, too.
This week, we’ve got some horny-sad country music, a loving tribute to post-punk greats the Durutti Column, an extremely slinky ode to queer Black bodies, a post-apocalyptic electro-jazz banger, and a bracing experimental-rap opus about the realities of touring life and new parenthood. Thanks for listening.
