Let's just say it: it's high time we stopped taking ourselves so seriously. Thankfully, there's plenty of music this week that took the hint, so we've got a heavy dose of whimsy from Catey Shaw, Neko Case, and the week's biggest winner, Weird Al Yankovic. Not to worry, though, there's still plenty of SERIOUS MUSIC: King Tuff, Dev Hynes (as Blood Orange), and Shabazz Palaces have made sure of that.
As usual, we've added the tracks to our ongoing Spotify playlist of great new music, and created a standalone YouTube playlist for this week. Keep the recommendations coming.
The tracks:
Bat For Lashes, "Skin Song"
Chet Faker & GoldLink, “On You”
