July Playlist

It’s time again for Crack’s monthly playlist, and as usual this one’s a mixed bag of nuts. So rather than trying crowbar in some kind of theme for this intro (Countdown and the letter ‘M’ were ideas we’d written in our notes), let’s just go over some of the highlights this time.

On the guitar-orientated end of the spectrum there’s Marissa Nadler’s devastatingly beautiful Father John Misty cover, no-holds-barred punk from Stevenage’s Bad Breeding, and Dinosaur Jr. frontman J Mascis proves once again that there’s emotion behind that deadpan stare with his lovely new solo single Every Morning.

So what about the hip-hop? DOOM and Bishop Nehru tease their forthcoming joint album with the promising Om, Hitta J3 recruits a Compton A-team for a remix of his anthem Do Yo Gudda, Danny Brown yelps like a crack-addled cat (that’s a good thing) on Rustie’s Attak and Lil B’s unfiltered optimism reaches new heights on the could-be-a-future-classic No Black Person Is Ugly.

And over the course of the playlist there’s also tribal drum-decorated house, weirdo RnB and soothing ambience. Make sure you stick around for Demdike Stare’s new track Past Majesty too, it’s fuckin’ nuts.
