ICYMI: A roundup of the song of the week features from the past month.


​"Chaise Longue" - Wet Leg


T&E writer Kurt B. Reighley says, "The summer I turned eight, my family moved across the country. By car. In four days. My little brother and I would be bursting with untapped energy when we’d settle into some random motel for the night. Mom would let us jump on the beds, back and forth, until we wore ourselves out."

​

"Yakjehti Mein" - Ali Sethi & Nicolas Jaar


​T&E writer Brittne MacCleary says, "When I listen to this song my mind and soul float away. Ali Sethi's voice is transcendent and Nico Jaar's contributions create a truly unique moving sound. The translation of Yakjehti Mein from Urdu to English is 'in solidarity.' Specifically, Sethi's intent is in solidarity with the people of Palestine."

 "Show You The Way" - Thundercat


​T&E writer Nick Gonzaga says, “This track is a throwback in every sense. It feels like a 1980 Seagram’s ad out of a Playboy magazine. Legendary featured vocalists Kenny Loggins and the great Michael McDonald complete the time warp like a whisper from an old friend. Thundercat’s smooth bass baseline floats throughout like a Cadillac Fleetwood. Pour yourself a classy drink and put this one on repeat.”


"Runner" - Young Prisms


​T&E podcaster Mike says, "Dream pop style at it's best. The synth at the end reminds me of Bowie's Sound and Vision.
​

"Unison" - Marine Houshou


T&E writer Randy says, "This is an incredibly unique piece of music that combines elements of Jpop, ASMR, Trance, IDM and Hyperpop. The rhythm threatens to fall apart throughout the song and the vocals seem to be off-beat but somehow comes together cohesively by harmonizing. It has immense replay value by being hypnotically addictive."​
