Towa Tei, Kylie Minogue & Haruomi Hosono
GBI (GERMAN BOLD ITALIC)
SOUND MUSEUM · 1997
not a lot of songs from the POV of a typeface

Headache & Vegyn
Dodge This!
Thank You for Almost Everything · 2025
Neither the past, the present, or future matter to me.
What matters to me is love, art, and money.
is headache’s prose a little on the nose? yes. the 16-bit, crunched synth line at around 1:22 more than makes up for it. this song propels itself forward like a bullet train, intensity that goes in a smooth straight line

The Sons of Silence
A Grain of Sand
Spring Forward: Fall Back · 1997
i first found this song in Susumu Yokota’s excellent Leaf Compilation and it has always struck me as a song that would be great to sweep your floor to

CFCF
Love Hotel
L.U.V. · 2026

Drake
Road Trips
MAID OF HONOUR · 2026
It’s funny to consider what Drake will be like when he's 60. He has to retire from music for his own sake. He can’t keep writing lyrics like:
I didn’t say that you’re the most selfish person alive
I just said you better hope she doesn’t die
Musically, I am am obsessed with what he’s doing here. Masterful sample usage and the core synth loop makes me bounce.
