"Reveling in fuzzed-out garage-punk sonics, the track sees Alemeda deconstructing love and hollow romance. As electrifying guitar drives the song forward, Alemeda makes her disappointment in her partner sound like a celebration - but a request for accountability remains squarely in the picture. "Why do you only love me when I leave?/ Wait 'til I disappear to say things I want to hear," she croons inquisitively over a rousing soundscape."
""JCMF" is an exorcism of frustration. One of two new solo singles from Low's Alan Sparhawk, the tune is slow-moving and features overdriven tones, clattering drums, and little more than a poignant, exasperated line: "When Jesus comes back, all you motherfuckers are going to pay." Though different in form and intention, the experience of listening to the track is somewhat similar to that of Shellac's "Prayer to God," as the conciseness and power of the rage lead to a sublime, well-deserved catharsis."
New releases this week include songs from Snail Mail, White Reaper, Lava La Rue, Baby Keem, Alemeda, and Alan Sparhawk. Alemeda's "Broken Record" embraces fuzzed-out garage-punk and deconstructs hollow romance, pairing electrifying guitar with lyrics that demand accountability. Alan Sparhawk's "JCMF" delivers a slow-moving exorcism of frustration with overdriven tones, clattering drums, and a terse, wrathful refrain that yields catharsis. Baby Keem's "Good Flirts" reunites him with Kendrick Lamar and features Momo Boyd; the track layers traded verses and choruses that examine love lost and found. The selections emphasize raw emotion, stylistic variety, and pointed lyrical focus.
