New songs to listen to this week and one to avoid

Wolf Alice

No music from it yet, but Wolf Alice has a new album coming very soon and they are previewing one track at a time through lyrics and images on their social media accounts. In January I wrote that a new Wolf Alice album had the potential to be my #1 album of the year.

Prophets of Rage (Warning: explicit lyrics. But the song is important in today's political environment and the word, while offensive, is used appropriately.)

Here's my new music video for Prophets of Rage (w/members of Rage Against the Machine, Public Enemy & Cypress Hill)https://t.co/qp0arfxzs1

 Roadside Monument

For perspective, watching @8hoursaway perform in 2017 feels as miraculous to me as hearing new music from Slowdive. https://t.co/vB5165wGST

Arcade Fire  

The new Arcade Fire song is essentially "Dancing Queen", isn't it?
