Manhattan Special

Onyx Collective

Manhattan Special is pure jazz club music. If you're not into that, I'd just turn that car around right now. It's different, off the wall, experimental and very, very chill. Kick back and enjoy… idk… a Manhattan? with this one while you reminisce on the speakeasy days

The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do    
Fiona Apple

There is heavy kick drum, twinkling chimes, and staggered clapping. Apple’s voice itself is similar to a percussion instrument as she growls and whine. It might seem counterintuitive to jam so hard to such depressing lyrics, but I challenge you not to groove to the loops and rounds in Hot Knife. Get angry, get contemplative, and get it all out.

Check out Fiona and the drums in action here in the Hot Knife music video. The song and video which feature her sister is electric and shows just how powerful and nuanced Apple’s works is. Fetch the Bolt Cutters indeed.

Pony

Rex Orange County

Bedroom pop to a “t” is how I’d describe this 2019 release from Rex Orange County. Hella autotune, reflection on being a youth and heavily distorted chord progressions that I can just see being put together while playing on your midi-controller on your lap. Despite this patronizing description, I love this album! Catchy hooks, enough horns in the background to keep your hips swinging and Rex (known to his parents as Alex O’Connor) harmonizes quite well with himself over a loop pedal. 

Rex appeared on Tyler The Creator’s critically acclaimed *Flower Boy* which reminds me... we should probably feature that album.

The Juicebox

Emotional Oranges

Emotional Oranges are your classic artist duo. The two met at a bat mitzvah in 2017 while one was working as a vocal coach for Adele and the other, as an audio engineer for Drake. Like I said, your classic duo. They also both happen to use pseudonyms for names, “A and “V,” respectively. Just classic stuff. The Juicebox comes as their third studio album and features a wide range of influences, from R&B, and Soul, to Hip-Hop and Pop. It also hosts a A-list cast of collaborators including Vince Staples, Becky G, and Channel Tres. Simply put, it's a dope album you're not going to want to miss.
