Adolf Noise- We Are The World

This is the hidden track on Adolf Noise’s newest album. Adolf is DJ Koze’s weird ambient project. This is “We Are The World.” Another one for the WTF files.

Team Sleep- 11^11

Everyone and their brother has been looking forward to Team Sleep’s album, understanding the possibility that the Deftones + subtlety might be just the thing that the doctor ordered. Sadly, the album is sometimes pretty aimless, I imagine the result of how long it took for the thing to come out. This track is one of the best and it’s the collab with Rob Crow of Pinback. Crucially, it sounds exactly like a Pinback song (maybe a bit simpler). Which, you know, makes it good.

Woodbine- The Woods

Can’t quite put my finger on it, but this song reminds me of something so overwhelmingly so that it’s been plaguing me for a few weeks now. It has the same feel as the vastly underrated folk group George, but with a more straightforward bent. And while the album veers off the rails near its conclusion, the first-half is some of the finest folk that you’ll hear all year. This particular song is a winning combination of bells, acoustic guitar, and Susan Dillane’s vocals.
