FKA twigs has been on the periphery of music that I adore for many years now.. with the rollout for EUSEXUA (out January 24!) I figured it’s as good a time as any to tap in. Drums of Death has an industrial and glitchy sound to it that I can’t get enough of. Coherent lyrics are few and far between, but it makes what cuts through the perilous percussion that much more meaningfu.

Cryptic lyrics on par with Cocteau Twins, but with enough violent energy to rival a teenager on Red Bull. I've been reaching for their music for about ten years now! I'm not gonna stop!

OTTO - Clam Day, so damn punchy and snappy. almost mixed too present but just perfect in execution
Rustie - EVENIFYOUDONTBELIEVE, if you like drums that are distorted to the point of saturation and hit hard enough to snap your neck this is for you
Reso - Tabris, the drum programming on the tracks Tabris and Axion still blow my mind. it sounds like a drum kit thrown into a particle collider
Burial - Burial, drums so swung and off kilter they shouldn’t work. Broken Home and U Hurt Me especially
Flying Lotus - You’re Dead!, varies between maximalist freestyle jazz drumming and sleek stripped back beats

black metal meets acid house, techno, and breakcore with cryptic and cultish undertones. feels kinda like the Doom Eternal soundtrack only sludgier. also features Korn's vocalist on the track Epoch

I grew up delivering newspaper with my parents to make ends meet. Thanksgiving was interesting because the paper was thick with Black Friday ads. I went to the dollar store yesterday and saw a Sunday paper for only $2. It was thick with Black Friday ads.
