My new favorite thing is Bon Voyage Organisation's 'Jungle? Quelle Jungle?'

Exquisite funky disco goodness.

I like that new Oneohtrix track more than anything on the album.

Posting here because there's no 2018 shambhala thread and because it's a favourite track:

Not Pop Not Indie Shambhala 2018 Thread

That's nice though!

Shout out to a September album release that I just caught up with but was an insta-buy: the latest Tokyo Elvis LP "Nice & Pleasant". As ever with him, the words are mostly sung by a vocaloid software voicebank persona that you'll either love or hate but there's unexpected depths in the writing. Possibly my favourite pure pop LP of the year. Listen here: http://tokyoelvis.bandcamp.com/album/nice-pleasant
