Considering all the great stuff artists around the world are releasing every day, it\u2019s a wonder we hear about any of it at all. Even the cultural works best suited to your tastes can pass right by you if you\u2019re not careful. For example, this week a friend texted to tell me about a band called 100 gecs whose June album 1000 gecs<\/em><\/a> is an overwhelming and blissful fever dream. I call it sedimentary pop: a handful of disparate microgenres pressurized into one amazing 23-minute album.)<\/p>\n

In counterpoint to the compressed fast-forward vibe of 1000 gecs<\/em>, the following eight tracks make up a much more pleasant, measured distillation of the songs I\u2019ve loved from this past month. The new format of this week\u2019s column marks a new era in Pop Gazing: more songs but also more time between posts. I hope it\u2019s easier to digest and just as fun to follow. Thank you as always for reading and sharing with a friend!<\/span>\n
