Music for Real Bitches in a Fake-Ass World
Plus pop-punk-techno for hot days and cold beers, the rapper with the best song titles, and more!
Five Songs is a weekly series for paid Hearing Things subscribers in which we each choose a new song we like and write about why we can’t stop listening to it. These are tracks that speak to us in particular, and we have a good feeling they will speak to you, too.
This week, you can look forward to an exhilarating genre smash-up that brings pop, punk, techno, and ambient music along to the party; a New Orleans bounce heartbreaker from New York City; an indie-rock hero’s quest dotted with dead bodies and pissing puppies; an emo-pop lullaby that captures the dissociation of living in social-media hell; and an underground rap pep talk called “Don’t Kiss Your Mom on Dad’s Birthday.” There’s also a Must Hear track—i.e., a song we really, really love—among the five picks. Thanks for listening.
