04/16 - Forgive The Kids For They Don't Know How To Live

Went home to Sweden for a family-swaddle, away from politics and art. But these songs I've had saved for this list for a while. So there's politics and art.

Arca - En

Enveloped in human and machine breath. Not able to tell the difference. But feeling the warmth from within.

Holly Herndon - Morning Sun

This album grows with every listen. Best voice-obsessed album since Medúlla, and this is one of its most unashamedly gorgeous tracks.

Jenny Hval - Heaven

Another album from last year I'm discovering now. It's fantastic. Razor sharp ruminations on all aspects of contemporary life. I'm definitely not embarrassed to say that I love intellectual, feminist avant garde music.

St. Vincent - Cruel

Realised I hadn't had maybe my favourite St Vincent song on a list yet. The unstoppable, propelling drive of this is incredible. And the icing on the cake is that little xylophone-like riff around the 3 minute mark. Absolute killer.

Sleater-Kinney - No Anthems

Never really listened to Sleater-Kinney back in the heyday, but gave their new album a whirl and got totally stuck on this. Great guitar sound. Great drumming. Hard-hitting chorus.
