Circling Back on New Exek
Amidst the year end goings-ons, I kept trying to circle back towards Exek‘s latest single…but despite being a fan of the group for nearly a decade, I just didn’t have the time (I failed!). So, here I am a good month later reminding you that the group has signed to DFA, and with that, there’s a new LP on the way, and it already sounds super rad. On the lead single from the album, it’s hard to identify what I love more about the track; I keep getting drawn to the sharp march of the drum work, snapping me into step with snare smashes. But, they seem to be embracing a sort of carousel psychedelic approach, spinning you up and down as the track circles, pushing you to maximum bliss. Really excited to hear what Prove the Mountains Move sounds like when it drops!
It seems weird to say, but last week was the first time in a long time where I was able to find every song we covered on all the DSPs! Does this mean I’ve gone mainstream? Anyways, we had a few premieres running from the likes of Class and Alijca-Pop, so be sure to check those jams out.. And, as per usual, dipped our toes in the Austin pond, with new stuff from Holy Wire and the stream of Will Johnson‘s new LP. Oh, and we made sure we had as much Oceanic coverage as possible, throwing our weight behind Soft Covers, Native Cats, The Small Intestines and Exek! Give a listen to the singles below!
