Music Staff Picks: La Luz, Popstrangers, M.I.A and more!
November 6, 2013
Hey guys! Remember those staff picks we told you about last week? Well they’re a weekly thing! We hope they’ll help you stay on top of the best shiznit on the rack, especially now that we’re removing some popular things. Out with the old, in with the new, as they say!
This week, nearly our whole staff has contributed picks. We’re really excited about our new rack adds. Get ready for the mind-blowing, chill vibes of Ducktails, the endorphin-rushing noises of Popstrangers’ latest single, some M.I.A. bad girl stuff, and of course Sky Ferreira. On a hip hop tip, check out Boldy James rapping about his favorite kind of chemistry (and we’re not talking about high school).
Picks this week come from Jack, Drew, Michael, Clare, Rafael, Molly, Anna, Tori, Julia and special guest Paz (making a return to reviewing for her lady Sky).
