Noname and De La Soul Glide Over the Abyss
Plus a welcome return to form from Oneohtrix Point Never, spaced-out sophsitipop from rural New England, and surrealist funk from the UK.
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.
Get access to everything we do at Hearing Things—including weekly album and song recommendations along with our ever-growing archive of interviews and reports—with a free 30-day trial!
This week we’ve got Julianne on Noname’s surprisingly upbeat new single, Andy on a track that reminds us why Oneohtrix Point Never is one of our era’s most important electronic musicians, Dylan on a sampledelic De La Soul song that recalls their playful best, Ryan on a folk-pop oddball from the middle of nowhere, and Jill on a slice of extremely British surrealist funk. Enjoy!
