The show was a real spectacle in all the best ways: moving stages, fireworks, a massive band, lots and lots of dancing (or, Jay\u2019s case, choreographed walking). None of this week\u2019s tracks come from bands I can imagine headlining stadiums anytime soon, and they\u2019re all probably better for it. Most of the time it\u2019s best to let bands make their own fireworks.<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 20px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<h3>Cave: \u201cSan\u2019 Yago\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>The psyched out krautrock of Chicago band Cave doesn\u2019t make good for 30-second sampling, but if you\u2019ve got no important plans for the next six minutes, I can\u2019t recommend listening to \u201cSan\u2019 Yago\u201d enough. Because the song quickly establishes itself as a repetitive instrumental track, close listening rewards the listener with big payoff as Cave\u2019s drums and synth loops show their human touch with consistent, small gestural shifts among the song\u2019s meandering rhythmic backdrop. Even if the music video for this song wasn\u2019t an incredible, foggy trip through the expansive wealth of hot dog places Chicago has to offer (it is), it\u2019d still be an excellent first release from the band since their 2013 album <a href=\"https:\/\/cave.bandcamp.com\/album\/threace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Threace<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MdEXiHYUjHs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 40px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<h3>Mitski: \u201cTwo Slow Dancers\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>We lucked out with another great Mitski single this week ahead of <em>Be the Cowboy<\/em>\u2019s impending release on Friday. It\u2019s an interesting move to release the final track of the album (as this is) as a single, particularly because her first <em>Be the Cowboy<\/em> single \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3zdFZJf-B90\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Geyser<\/a>\u201d is the album\u2019s opener. It feels like a wry, winking refusal to indicate what \u2018happens\u2019 on the album, instead setting parameters of Once Upon a Time and The End \u2014 with only the very \u2018New Mitski\u2019 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebozho.com\/new-music-ovlov-charli-xcx-mitski\/\">Nobody<\/a>\u201d to stand in between them. None of this would matter much if Mitski\u2019s albums weren\u2019t as strong and as cinematic as they are, and it just makes me more and more excited for Friday to roll around.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo Slow Dancers\u201d feels like a meditation; its blue nostalgia places old flames in context of their childhood history as Mitski\u2019s calm vocals float over orchestration that swells with the narrative. It really cements The Mitski Closer as a certified \u2018thing\u2019 as \u201cTwo Slow Dancers\u201d fits in the grand tradition of previous finales \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9ffnue9zMEY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Burning Hill<\/a>\u201d (<em>Puberty 2<\/em>) and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ssVf326Ox9g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Last Words of a Shooting Star<\/a>\u201d (<em>bury me at makeout creek<\/em>.)<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KUfkfJfsKrc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 40px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<h3>Foxing: \u201cGrand Paradise\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cGrand Paradise\u201d begins the hour-long runtime of their latest album <em>Nearer My God<\/em>, my most-listened to new album this week. St. Louis band Foxing has a whole lot of things going on in <em>Nearer My God<\/em>. The singles are great too, but I have been returning over and over to \u201cGrand Paradise\u201d to witness the intro slowly unfurl to reveal electronic claps, pizzicato guitar and sinister piano chords. As they enter, singer Connor Murphy\u2019s vocals are first viscerally reminiscent of the falsetto of TV on the Radio\u2019s Tunde Adebimpe but soon cascade into the kind of howled urgency that was a hallmark of late-era Brand New records. It\u2019s a killer intro to a really great album, and I can\u2019t get enough of it. <em>Nearer My God<\/em> feels like a big development in <a href=\"https:\/\/foxingtheband.bandcamp.com\/music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Foxing\u2019s discography<\/a>. It\u2019s a potentially divisive move for some of the old die-hards, but it\u2019s certainly got the potential to launch them further into the national consciousness.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5tsGkPxO8iY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I caved at the last minute and took a break from my breakfast on Friday to buy a ticket to see Beyonc\u00e9 and Jay-Z over the weekend.
