    Last week, saxophonist extraordinaire Kamasi Washington released a 6-track EP titled Harmony of Difference. The opening composition, which you can hear above, has the ambition and energy I’ve loved about the man’s past work (especially The Epic), but it’s offered in a more bite-sized serving than usual.

    Injury Reserve has announced an EP titled Drive It Like It’s Stolen that’s due out at the end of the month. Instead of promoting the release with another BANGER like “OH SHIT!!!” the trio has given us their most somber and personal track yet with “North Pole.” This

    This past week, Quebecois trap and wonky producer Lunice put out his debut album CCCLX via LuckyMe Records. “Drop Down,” the last of the teaser tracks, is certainly a highlight thanks to quirky and fun contributions from rapper Le1f and co-producers SOPHIE and S-Type. Listen above and enjoy!

    Here’s the second single from Mark Kozelek’s upcoming collaborative album with Ben Boye and Jim White, which will apparently contain the Koz’s sixth and seventh discs of 2017. Lyrically, “The Black Butterfly” is a step up from the previously released “House Cat,” with Mark spending the first
