The Weekly What: 6•8•14
"A playlist every Sunday?!"


Five tracks from the past week (or so) that didn't make the dose. Enjoy.

1. London-based musician Jack Garratt dropped "Worry" five days ago. Garrat's refrain of "let me worry 'bout it" is powerful and confident over cascading rhythms of hand-claps and warbling synths.

2. Hailing from Madison, Wisconsin, folk-rock sextet PHOX has released "1936" in anticipation of their debut album, out June 24th. It's a light and lovely track, a nice blend of weightless vocals and airy guitar.

3. Brazilian musician Moreno Veloso is out with "Em Todo Lugar" ("Everywhere") on David Byrne's Luaka Bop label. A gentle but funky ballad, it's as relaxing as it is groovy.

4. SBTRKT (Aaron Jerome) has reunited with frequent collaborator Sampha for "Temporary View," a shimmeringly synth-y track.

5. From what Google Translate tells me, 水中 is the Japanese word for "underwater." Even if the translation's not exact, it's entirely fitting, as listening to Stockholm-based little cloud's track is like undergoing a trancelike submersion.
