A practical route through 21 August begins heavy with Chelsea Wolfe, turns toward Wild Pink and The Afghan Whigs for guitar songwriting, shifts into Brennan Wedl and Pieta Brown for more intimate material, then moves through Lusine's electronics, Denzel Curry and Kenneth Blume's experimental rap, Matt B's orchestral West African vision and Untitled With Drums' French post-rock.
Finish with Stand Atlantic's “EDGE OF VEGAS” for a standalone single.
That's a remarkably varied weekend without needing to leave today's releases.
