Eclectic, atmospheric, and darkly brilliant American indie band led by Chuck Cleaver (ex-Ass Ponys) and Lisa Walker. Wussy are one of the most celebrated independent bands in the American Midwest, a group whose idiosyncratically thoughtful songs and atmospheric, forceful guitar attack have won them a fervent cult following and a growing stack of rave reviews.

One Per Customer (Chuck Cleaver) 4:46
Skip (Lisa Walker) 3:52
from What Heaven is Like 2018
...There's always been something out of time about Wussy. Their take on rock and roll harkens back to classic garage, pop, and psychedelic reference points of the past yet they consistently surprise. Like the tchotchkes and artifacts of our recent, schlocky past, Wussy's sound resonates as if from some other world that resonates with optimism for the future. In Wussy's world, time moves recklessly forward like a souped-out jalopy, fuzzy dice bobbing from the rearview mirror the driver is steering by...

Following myriad musical and travel experiences throughout his early life, Joel Wästberg emerged under the pseudonym sir Was with wide-ranging musical tastes. Wästberg grew up in Frillesås on the western coast of Sweden, and he played music from an early age, starting with the saxophone at ten...

In the Midst (sir Was) 5:01
Digging a Tunnel (sir Was) 4:01
Bomping (sir Was) 2:25
from Digging a Tunnel 2017
Considering Digging a Tunnel's persistently chilled vibe, it's somewhat surprising to read sir Was (aka Joel Wästberg) describe it as an "existential dread-filled debut." That surprise is validated to a degree by the album's opener, "In the Midst." The Curtis Mayfield sensibility of the snappy percussion and super-smooth bassline are matched by the relaxed flow of Wästberg's rap. His avowal that "If you wanna have it you gotta start searching/If you wanna keep it you gotta start living" has more in common with Wooderson's (played by Matthew McConaughey) Dazed & Confused mantra, "You gotta keep on livin'...L-I-V-I-N," than it does with Camus or Sartre. But it would be foolish to dismiss the Swedish multi-instrumentalist on the basis of one line from a record that is an extremely dense confluence of musical themes and motifs. The album absorbs a myriad of styles and influences that include, but are not limited to, '90s hip-hop beats, psychedelia, and shades of trip-hop, all of which are bathed in light electronic washes...

Noisy, minimalist Brooklyn quartet influenced by post-punk and no wave. Indebted to no wave and post-punk, and named for one of noir novelist Jim Thompson's bleakest tales, Brooklyn's Pop. 1280 was started by Chris Bug and Ivan Lip in 2009.
Pop. 1280
In Silico (Pop. 1280) 7:11
Paradise (Pop. 1280) 3:36
from Paradise 2016
The band Pop. 1280 named themselves after a book by infamous pulp novelist Jim Thompson, in which the dimwitted sheriff of a small Southern town unwittingly discovers his capacity for corruption and bloodshed. While their music suggests they exist in some otherworldly universe rather than the American Southwest, Pop. 1280's third full-length album, 2016's Paradise, sure sounds like the soundtrack to a story full of violence, betrayal, and bad karma...

L.A.-based alternative R&B singer and writer who appeared on tracks by Teengirl Fantasy and Kingdom prior to releasing her 2013 debut mixtape. Kelela synthesizes contemporary R&B and progressive electronic music with an aptitude for prompting club play as much as bedroom listening. The vocalist and songwriter, born Kelela Mizanekristos in Washington, D.C., was raised in suburban Maryland and didn't have aspirations as a singer until she started studying jazz.
Kelela
All the Way Down 4:29
Hallucinogen 2:20
from Hallucinogen 2015
...Her new EP, Hallucinogen, uses the gristle and guts of feeling as a thematic base for exploring new textures in music. Like Cut 4 Me, the sound is like being enveloped in the black-lit silence of the intro to Belly: it’s a sensuous, sensitive, hi-definition approach to R&B. Some of the producers are the same (Kingdom, Nguzunguzu’s MA) and some are new (Arca, Kendrick and Drake collaborator DJ Dahi), but these partnerships hew to what’s now the Kelela template: soulful songs with unpredictable, assaultive drum patterns, whorls of whimsical synthesizer effects, and so much processing on the vocals that it sounds like you’re listening to a transmission from tomorrow. The deconstructed clatter of FKA twigs—who also worked with Arca—might be from another dimension altogether, but Kelela, whose music feels like there is blood flowing through it, looks to a future with a decidedly human shape...
