A few words about a few local tracks that hit the spot this week

Sommelier – Alt Weakly
A sinister waltz that sounds like Muse performing a Danny Elfman-penned Off-Broadway musical centering on a struggling lounge singer hellbent on vengeance against those who have overlooked him.

fern – same side (guda)
A digital sugar rush–chopped and warped until detached auto-croons and woozy bass blend together in a dizzying blur–that injects itself directly into the brain’s pleasure centers.

Kush Tiger – Stoned Cold Sativaustin
A doomy stoner diss track, courtesy of two of the Short Fictions folks, that pulls its name from the infamous WWE figure. Over low-slung riffs, a ghoulish, pitched-down voice intones, “You’re clocking shifts/I stay at home taking bong rips.” Unabashedly goofy fun that also crushes.
