 The Jet Age of Tomorrow - God’s Poop or Clouds? I don't know if the Odd Future gang is really a thing anymore, but some of the subgroups created within it are still going strong. The Jet Age of Tomorrow is made up of Matt Martians and Pyramid Vritra, and got their start with samples turned down by other members of the collective. God's Poop or Clouds? is their fourth album. Listen: "The Long Way Home" (featuring Syd) Listen: "The Jaunt" |
 Myrkur - Mareridt Many areas are male dominated, black metal is no different. Myrkur is one of a few female artists in the genre, which inevitably has led to abuse from insecure men in the black metal community (the world is terrible). Admittedly, I don't listen to much metal (black or otherwise), but Myrkur is one of my favorites. Mareridt is her second solo album. following 2015's M. Watch: "Ulvinde" Listen: "Måneblôt" |

His first outing was a collaborative album with Hamilton Leithauser, I Had a Dream That You Were Mine. Half-Light is his first fully solo record, an amazing show of his culture, influences, and talents. Watch: "Half-Light" (featuring Kelly Zutrau) Watch: "Gwan" |
