Sup DJs? Ever wanted an insider perspective on what’s on our rack? Well, a brand new weekly feature, Music Staff Picks, will give you just that! Our music staff members will pick favorite songs from albums they review every week and create a playlist just for you. Make sure to listen up and read the full reviews on Subsonic!

This week, our inaugural features include the inevitable, brand-new Arcade Fire, as well as the more surprising, brand-new Paul McCartney. We‰’ve also got Polica‰’s frigid electronic R&B, some flows from R.A. the Rugged Man, favorite slackers Parquet Courts and a defiantly catchy folk/noise tune from 19-year-old songstress Palehound.

Picks this week come from staff members Jack Fitzpatrick, Andrew Jordan, Drew Sher and Clare Teeling, as well as both music directors. Hope this helps you find some sweet new rack spins, and make sure to check in next week for more!
