Perennial KCRW faves Little Dragon drop “Slugs of Love,” their first single of 2023, and just like that we’re logging double digit spins. Also capturing the attention of nearly the entire DJ roster is Yaeji’s long-awaited debut LP With A Hammer. Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s fifth album remains highly in demand, as do Rahill’s forthcoming Flowers At Your Feet and Madison McFerrin’s forthcoming I Hope You Can Forgive Me. And in the “we love to see it” column, Kelela’s Raven bounces right back into the top ten after a couple of weeks away.
New and notable: The cosmic dance vibes of SBTRKT x Toro y Moi ahead of SBTRKT’s eagerly anticipated new album, The Rat Road, and the comforting power-pop stylings of The New Pornographers’ latest, Continue As A Guest. Plus, a heady Four Tet remix of Everything But The Girl’s “Nothing Left to Lose.”
