Nia Archives drags the Yeah Yeah Yeahs classic “Heads Will Roll” into her frenetic D’n’B realm, and emerges with the absolutely bonkers (in the best possible way) “Off With Ya Headz.” N8NOFACE’s latest LP Reconfiguration gives us a very FREAKS ONLY anthem via the scuzzy dance-punk of “We Are The Freaks.” And French electro composer Rone unveils his latest collab with dance collective La Horde — the pristinely constructed soundscape “Ghosts.” Delay your entry into this edition of FO to take in the accompanying short film, and then get into the groove.
