In a (non)turn of events, this week’s top 4 remains exactly the same as the last. Say She She, Little Dragon, James Blake, and Pachyman all hold strong to their top posts — while last week’s number five artist, Nation of Language, falls precipitously to spot 23.
New and notable: Check on all of the hip dads in your life to make sure they know that Wilco have recently announced their 13th (!) LP Cousin. KCRW DJs are really digging the first single “Evicted.” Plus, French duo Souleance flex their sampling chops ahead of new LP Beautiful to land in the Top 15, and LA psych-pop-maestro Art Feynman (aka Luke Temple of Here We Go Magic) gets us hyped for his new record, Be Good the Crazy Boys. How will our Top 30 Spotify playlist fare in the face of all this stability? We highly recommend that you find out.
