*SHOW OF THE WEEK*

*DEADBEAT SUMMER ~  with DJ Chrissy J and DJ Smiling Buddha*

*SATURDAYS @ 2-4 PM*

*GENRE: Indie, Hip-Hop, Electronic*

*Chris Jimenez & Ashwin Dasgupta*
Really eclectic set from Ashwin and Chris. Their music truly embodies the
spectrum of the deadbeat summer. On one end, you have the primal –
aggressively stuffing your face with Flamin’ Hot Cheetos while watching
Girls in bed – and on the other, the pure – lazy vegetating on the roof of
your favorite Williams building. They spun MF DOOM (“Gas Drawls”), My
Bloody Valentine (“Cigarette in Your Bed”), and BROCKHAMPTON (“SUNNY”).
*FEATURED MUSIC*
*Forth Wanderers*
Forth Wanderers

Described as the “big sister of Soccer Mommy,” by Lylia Li, the Forth
Wanderers’ sophomore album does not disappoint. Ava Trilling delivers
vocals which are both delightfully angsty and more mature than the average
songs-about-alienation indie rock act. “Taste” is the album’s masterpiece,
a waltz-like anthem which shifts between tempos and energies with the
fluidity of Elliot Smith. The album screams and whispers, often within
seconds of itself. Expressing sheer mastery over the emotional range of
rock music, the album shifts from anger to alienation, desire and longing
to floating, disconnectedness. “Not for Me,” is the band’s tightest single
on the album, expressing the frustration of feeling nothing, while
gravitating towards human connection.

*Exotic Worlds and Masterful Treasuers*
Simulator Jones

In a style reminiscent of Starchild and the New Romantics as well as Herbie
Hancock and Chick Corea’s funkier sides, Stimulator Jones, the project of
Sam Lunsford, brews together electronic hip-hop beats with the jazzy sounds
of 70’s and 80’s pop. The resulting emotion is sensual/sensory, a
celebration of the “exotic” experience of drugs and sex. The album supplies
other-worldly grooves, while remaining strikingly earthy. “Together” is
both intimate and vulnerable in vocal delivery, the tremblingly soulful
qualities of Lunsford’s echoey delivery channels the quasi-alien dimension
of human intimacy; the desire to become one while remaining distinct.

------------------------------

*Rebound*
Eleanor Friedberger

Rebound features funky, snappy beats and guitar riffs out of minimalistic
80s era disco. Watery synths sing out, accompanying the vibracious yet
droll vocals. The texture of Friedberger’s Rebound is timelessly dreamy,
yet its modernity lies in the bittersweet lyricism, chronicling a cyclic
existence that seems to turn back to itself. “Nice to be Nowhere” a
soothing track in its cheerful nihilism, celebrates the form of the pop
song, its timelessness within the temporal rigidity. ““It takes the ear/To
hear the waves/And the heart/To know you feel some feeling.” A celebration
of emotion, Rebound, offers a feminine, warm iteration of Tame Impala.
