FREAKS ONLY playlist: May 15, 2024

Matthew “Matty” Tavares, formerly of Canadian muscular jazz greats BADBADNOTGOOD, has dropped his latest solo confection “FOOL 4 U,” ahead of his forthcoming LP POPS. Anyone expecting a BBNG-esque jazz free-for-all might be surprised by the buoyant indiepop they receive instead, but trust us when we tell you that it's an absolute sonic delight. But don’t take our word for it, get right into this episode of FREAKS ONLY for the goods. Plus, a classic from Fischerspooner to acknowledge the various half-way points we find ourselves in, and further forays into the latest from Childish Gambino and Jessica Pratt.
