Garbage - "Love My Way (The Psychedelic Furs Cover)"

From their Copy/Paste EP of cover songs is Garbage's ghostly interpretation of The Psychedelic Furs' classic song "Love My Way." The original is one of my top ten songs of all time; its message of following the path of your own sexuality is still timeless and relevant. 

2024 Top 50 Songs

2024 was a pretty solid year for music. Below is a link to my Spotify playlist of my favorite songs of the year. Please enjoy!

DIIV - "Raining On Your Pillow (Daniel Avery Remix)"

Producer Daniel Avery remixes DIIV's track "Raining On Your Pillow," taking the pastoral psychedelia of the album version and amps it up with cavernous drums and a snarling bassline that wouldn't feel out of place on Primal Scream's album XTRMNTR. 

Squid - "Crispy Skin"

Brighton, England post-punk act Squid announced its upcoming record Coward. First single is the sprawling "Crispy Skin," which draws inspiration from the dystopian, cannibalistic novel Tender Is The Flesh.

voyeur - "Spirit"

New York indie rockers Voyeur recently released their sophomore EP, the beguiling Something Becomes You. The EP wears its Sonic Youth-inspired sound on its sleeve but adds a unique spin. "Spirit" lends a dream-pop haze to an edgy bass-driven track, with coiled-up guitars ready to attack.

Kassie Krut - "Reckless"

Emerging from the ashes of late-great Philly experimental rockers Palm comes the new trio Kassie Krut. Kasra Kurt and Eve Alpert team up with producer Matt Anderegg for some industrial hyperpop shenanigans on their first single "Reckless." It's super catchy and subtlety menacing.
