Let’s Eat Grandma – I, Gemini [Transgressive]
Let’s Eat Grandma have accidentally began a revolution to reinvent pop and replace it with their “Psychadelic sludge” sound. Jenny Hollingworth and Rosa Walton are the teenage girls behind the eery music and head turning band name and their musical maturity and eclectic mindsets are staggering. Let’s Eat Grandma’s first album, “I, Gemini”, is intriguing, invigorating and maybe even inspiring.
Small Culture – Small Culture EP
Small Culture has shown up a couple times now on HighClouds, and they’re here again. I recently caught a chance to listen to the project’s self-titled EP, and was thoroughly impressed. Wildly well composed for a freshman EP, the unique blends of sounds, and light upbeat feel make this EP the perfect way to kick off your summer.

Mitski – Puberty 2 [Dead Oceans]
Puberty is not the best period a girl has to go through. Menstruations, acne, embarrassing body changes… By choosing the title “Puberty 2”, Mitski is probably explaining that, once again, she’s living a difficult period of transition. And it’s not easy being a teenager, especially on the social aspect. However, puberty is also a path that leads to maturity. On her fourth album out today via Dead Oceans, Mitski Miyawaki grows up, experiments, and brings new perspectives to the raw emotions that were present in her previous LP “Bury Me at Makeout Creek.” In this new album, she has the chance to relive this transition; she learned what was good and goes even deeper on this new album.

⚡ Maggie Rogers – Alaska
[su_dropcap style=”simple”]I[/su_dropcap]t’s like when you arrive in a country with majestuous landscapes. In Canada, New-Zealand or in some States of the US, the sceneries are infinite and breathtaking. You remain speechless! This is what we felt when we discovered Maggie Rogers‘ final version of “Alaska.” Almost 240K plays on Soundcloud in 2 days: the music speaks for itself.
Finding “it” at Lost Village 2016
Many festivals, concerts or events try to get “it” right and few manage it. “It” is a difficult thing to gauge and “it” can be very elusive to find. “It” is an indescribable contentedness that accumulates from imagination, creativity, and delightfulness. “It” is what Lost Village gave to its villagers and what I found during my weekend.
Joey Bada$$- Devastated
New York’s favorite badass is back, and he’s on top of the world. Joey Bada$$, leader of one of the East Coast’s premiere hip-hop collectives Pro Era, has released a new track titled “Devastated.” Its mood is not devastating at all, however, for this is a song of hope.
