Fresh off of an in-studio visit on FREAKS ONLY, Nation of Language hit number one on the KCRW Top 30. The strut-ready, synthesized grooves of new single “Stumbling Still” make forthcoming LP Strange Disciple an easy fit at the top of this list.
New and notable: Anderson .Paak + Knxwledge rekindle their NxWorries collab on the fire new single “Daydreaming.” Plus, Salami Rose Joe Lewis and 16-year-old Chenayder read the current moment like it’s their respective diaries.
