This time we’re all about some fresh chaos courtesy of Danny Brown; a gorgeously nostalgic debut single from Phoenix, Alan Braxe, and DJ Falcon’s new project; a defiantly queer statement of purpose from Infinite Coles (aka one of Ghostface Killah’s sons); a post-rock head trip from Chicago Underground Duo; and a darkwave banger from Nine Inch Nails’ Tron score. There are also a couple of Must Hear selections—i.e., tracks we really, really love—among the five picks. Thanks for listening, and feel free to let us know what you think of these songs in the comments!
