Holy Buddy

fenix flexin
“rubberz”
there is a lot of discourse around this track and if it is ai or not… it’s so obviously ai because of how the chorus is written, no artist is interrupting themselves to do a refrain halfway through a b part of a chorus lyric… the sad part is that bro could’ve easily just used the ai reference and rerecorded it and no one would know. the song is definitely catchy, but is basically a draft of a tune from some startup. only ai i’ve heard that is better is the charlie kirk one.

“jeans”
the brightest darkwave tune you’ll hear today. so optimistic that it truly does make you want to throw it all away just to sell jeans. i love that i can hear this one playing out of the touch tunes in a bar in middle america after a long day at the jean factory. it’s worth watching the music video which is the best argument i’ve seen for bands to have 30 people work together on their visuals.

dylan brady
“needle guy”
really normal dubstep from the weirdest producer in the game. you may know him fro 100 gecs, a distillation of gen z autism and early 2000s “emo” nostalgia. something like if breathe carolina made dubstep. brady takes it to the next level with this one, the tweak is peak.

lucy (cooper b handy)
“strange as can be”
pure joyous garageband pop that is hand sculpted with playdoh of fun noises and vocal chirps and chants. lucy is pushing the boundaries of human music and proving that the elements worth worshipping are the heart and soul of a song, everything else is the backdrop and cherry on top.

“take your peace”
goofy wonky wonderful euro pop dance music, these guys should go for eurovision. i saw these guys play live one time and they had such an awkward stage presence but it was hypnotic, their dance moves so funky and clunky. the charm is the imperfections and interesting electronic bleeps and bloops. magic

kassie krut
“united”
avant dub electronic music that will change the world. kassie krut is the new project of legendary philadelphia noise rocker band “palm”. they take their angular cacophonous guitar music and shove it through a synthesizer. beautiful and interesting stuff. why have a computer make your music when you c

an honor to have made art for the true freak of our time, a shining example of real artist until the end. Wrote more on my website.

rest in peace ❤️
