This Week’s Model — Suede, “She Still Leads Me”

May 27, 2022 Dan Seeger

I don’t know I can be expected to resist this.

This Week’s Model — Sunflower Bean, “In Flight”

May 6, 2022 Dan Seeger

This is exactly the sort of breezy melancholy I’m looking for in my summer jams. Set against a shuffling indie-rock rhythm and lithe synth and guitars, the track expresses that sense of stasis that twentysomething scufflers have been humming about … Continue reading This Week’s Model — Sunflower Bean, “In Flight”

April 22, 2022April 22, 2022 Dan Seeger

I come by the selections for this weekly feature in a variety of ways, but I think this is the first time the cut in question first found my earholes because it was lobbed into my social media feeds by … Continue reading This Week’s Model — Linqua Franqa, “Oh Fxck”

Shilpa Ray has never struck me as an artist who is reticent about sharing her heated thoughts.
