PRETTY GIRLS LIKE
TRAP MUSIC
2 CHAINZ ALL MY DEMONS GREETING
ME AS A FRIEND AURORA BORN IN THE
VIPER ROOM
MINKA
Pretty Girls Like Trap Music
and so do I thanks to LA
rapper 2 Chainz. He just
keeps getting better with
age. This album is so chill
and relaxing I can’t help but
melt into my surroundings.
I can practically smell the
blunt smoke already! Beautiful, soft, warm, and
unyielding, Aurora is far more
talented than any individual
should be. The 20-year-old
Norwegian singer/songwriter
is hauntingly good. Her debut
LP All My Demons Greeting
Me As A Friend will follow
you around for days. Philadelphia-based hell rais-
ers MINKA harness the power
of all the ’80s greatest stars
in Born In The Viper Room.
The edgy synth/rock band
is known for their live show
antics. Somehow, I can tell
that the lead singer is nude
through the speakers.

ROYAL BLUES
DRAGONETTE RALPH
RALPH AFTERGLOW
THE WILD NOW
Toronto-based new wave
group Dragonette is my
favorite thing in the world
right now! There are so
many layers to their album
Royal Blues. It’s deep and
ripe with emotion, while
managing to stay uplifting
and fun. I just want to listen
to it over and over again.

Refreshing and sweet,
Ralph’s self-titled EP leaves
me longing for more. Her pop
sensibility has lead to great
songs with inviting rhythms
and enchanting vocals. She
sets a trap for you with each
song, from which there is
no escape. You will find her
tunes bouncing around your
head for days.

The seductive duo that is
The Wild Now return with
their second EP Afterglow.
Their alt synth-rock is dark
and alluring, distinct and
potent. It’s everything a
good album should be. I
can’t wait to hear more.
