Ear Candy 2021.03 – Have The Rolling Stones Killed

Uh, yeah, how you get closer to love?
How you lemonade all your sadness when you openin’ up?
How you make excuses for billionaires, you broke on the bus?
Noname, Rainforest

The original FUF had one of my favourite album covers of all time, and Tom Fec has already won best album artwork of the year for this year’s sequel

Shit yeah new Tobacco! With a throwback Tobacco sound too. I’ve been looping his dirty beats for the last week and have deemed it worthy to share the title of his 2008 debut. No individual track meets the heights of a Hairy Candy or Gross Magik, but all contribute a unique flavour to the whole. I think most of all I was longing for more tripped out vocals. This release is mostly an instrumental affair, but it makes up for the lack of lyrics with distinctive and fresh sounds.

My favourite discovery for the month was Mica Levi, who brings some incredibly unique experimental soundscapes on Blue Alibi.
