Staff Picks: Best Songs of the Week January 31st - February 6th
""Heaven" is more meditative than its predecessor, with Parks providing tender reflections and searching vocals. Still, like on "2SIDED," there's a more active, bustling treatment to the instrumentals, like her thoughts keep racing even as she's frozen in a moment of desire. With every release, Parks continues to expand her sound while retaining the same hallmarks that made her previous tracks great: palpable emotion, passionate poetry, and unavoidable intimacy."
"Chat Pile have linked up with Sub Pop to follow their great Hayden Pedigo collaboration, In the Earth Again, with "Masks," another sludgy, noisy, pointed ripper from the CoSigned act. Not to be confused with the "Mask," a cut from their Remove Your Skin Please EP, "Masks" is a blistering three and a half minutes complete with deafening drums, piercing guitar tones, and lyrics that seem to abstractly protest the disgusting actions of ICE."
Arlo Parks released "Heaven," a meditative follow-up to "2SIDED" from the upcoming album Ambiguous Desire, with tender reflections, vocals, and bustling instrumentals that convey racing thoughts amid desire. Parks expands her sound while retaining emotion, poetry, and intimacy. Chat Pile teamed with Sub Pop for "Masks," a sludgy, noisy three-and-a-half-minute track with deafening drums, piercing guitars, and lyrics that abstractly protest ICE; the band donated to DREAM Action OK and included a crushing cover of early Nirvana's "Sifting" and a blunt "FUCK ICE!" statement. Femtanyl's "HEAD UP" pairs breakneck percussion with dissonance, washes of synths, video-game-core accents, and moments of power.
