Notes

I started the week by revisiting the band PEDRO because I was slightly game for some grunge-inspired alternative rock and I ended up with DRIVE by yonige which captures that particular sound pretty well. This brand of Japanese rock went on for a few more tunes before we stumbled into the meat and potatoes of this week’s playlist, which is a light skim into the current contemporary of indie soul and hip hop. 

Genres are permeable as different musical styles fluidly weave into each other like watercolours in oil. A myriad of enticing sounds, beats and melodies easily stutter into each other as everything ends up as a sample, as a tone, as an idea, taking shape and taking root, standing both on its own and as a tree amidst the forest. It makes me excited to see if something comes next and knowing that something will come next.
