This is dope and I wish Four Tet had spent more of his career doing tracks like it.

The Singles Jukebox
âEzra Koenig doesnât wanna live like this, but he doesnât wanna die â he understands how these days intellectual curiosity depends on the financial means to satisfy it. So he pays for an iLoveMakonnen sample, strums a chordal pattern reminiscent of âMrs. Robinson,â and hires Chromeo and Ariel Rechtshaid for an expansive, expensive polish. For the Koenig-led project known as âVampire Weekend,â in which original members matter less than they used to, hybrid is both method and result. A shimmer of a single, âThis Lifeâ works, even if I tire of straight men discovering capital-m-Maturity with a vehemence that would astonish women, queer men, and every phylum in the animal kingdom.â - Alfred Soto
Ezra Koenig putting on âTouch of Greyâ drag and quoting Makonnen in order to meditate on his own charmed life should be off-putting, and yet âThis Lifeâ is effortlessly charming throughout. Vampire Weekendâs success has always ridden on how the band perched on the borderline between irony and sincerity, aware of both their own ridiculousness and the utter seriousness that even ridiculous non-problems can become laden with from their own subjectivity. âThis Lifeâ feels like the unraveling of all of those prior Vampire Weekend songs, eschewing the high drama of a âHannah Huntâ or âGiving Up the Gunâ for a beautifully posed shrug on the way out. - Jacob Sujin Kuppermann

Kasper Marott is great, the best new-to-me thing so far.
KH was on my long list, but I knew it wouldn't need my help. There's a radio edit, JF (in this case, useful).

https://i.imgur.com/TisVhx8.jpg62: RosalĂa- âAute Cutureâ - 175 points - 7 votesvideoRosalĂa (Post-Flamenco Art-Pop From Spain)
 As someone who argued a long time ago that Kill Bill is a feminist movie, and was later chagrined to hear that Uma Thurmanâs on-set experience did not bear this out, I am officially calling it a trend, of female musicians being inspired to put their own Tarantinoesque spin on things. Three makes a trend, right? The first example yâall know already. The second: Brown Eyed Girlsâ more strict take on âKill Bill,â in which all male roles are eliminated, the plot becomes an excuse for intra-band goofiness, and the first dance shot is of a faceless male dancer lifting his crotch to the camera. And now hereâs a third, complete with closeups of feet, dramatic zooms, knife sound effects, overstyled titles announcing new baddies, and the Western motif of the protagonist striding through the dusty townâalthough unlike Tarantinoâs protagonists, RosalĂa and her Beauty Gang are here to transform and uplift, not destroy. The song itself is similarly open-hearted: poppier and more static than the precise stories of El Mal Querer, but to a purpose: a widespread drink, a designer label, the fun in self-expression lies everywhere in between. This is why you donât throw the art out with the artist: because you canât predict whose art the art is going to inspire. - Jessica Doyle
 After âCon Alturaâ nabbed the top spot in Spain, it feels apt that RosalĂa quickly returns with her own version of a BeyoncĂ© song. Its repetitive nature makes it feel twice the length, and these drums and horns act as a constant reminder of RosalĂaâs well-deserved star status. It feels like the opposite of a Shepard tone: instant gratification from the moment it starts, and every second thereafter until it ends. - Joshua Minsoo Kim
