Amanda Blank - Might Like You Better
I’ve never heard Amanda Blank before, so this song was my introduction to her music. I would describe it as a mix between Peaches and The Blow. Switch handles the production on this track and keeps things pretty minimal and grimy. I hear shades of YACHT’s beats for Paper Television, hence the Khaela comparison. Blank handles her business as emcee and lays down some truth.

WatchHow can I get the job as someone who just hangs out in the studio bopping my head to whatever new monstrous club banger Mr Leslie can come up with? I’ll be glad to sweep up hundred dollar bills and tell Fabolous that he’s a good rapper.
I even have a hat and sunglasses. Sup Keri.

WatchWilco- Wilco, the Song
New song from the forthcoming Wilco album due in June. Apparently the band recorded the bulk of it last month in New Zealand. According to Rolling Stone writer Austin Scaggs who has apparently already heard it: “Great melodies, great lyrics, great playing and great sounds. You’re gonna dig it!” Hopefully this album will be far better than their last...

mbvmusic:
Camera Obscura - “My Maudlin Career” The title track from their forthcoming 4th LP, My Maudlin Career, out 4/20 on 4AD.
Camera Obscura’s gotten more Swedish (I’m thinking 1970s Swedish, not 2000s Swedish) since jumping to 4AD, it seems. I might miss the western leanings of Let’s Get Out of This Country and it might be the same set of vocal hooks as “I Need All The...
