Leave No Trace


(IAMSOUND)


Sounds Like: Afro-Israeli pop collective’s sophomore (the L.A.-based group can pack 12 people on stage) is a delightful multi-national spin on the tribal rock trend.


Free Association: Sunny, bouncy and harmless party tunes for your last pool parties.


For Fans Of: Amadou & Mariam + the Very Best, Foreign Born, Judaism, throaty “H”s.


Gold Leaves


The Ornament


(Hardly Art)


Sounds Like: One half of Arthur & Yu goes solo for a doo-wop-influenced chamber pop opus, with help from friends, to flesh out a quiet, rich, slightly gothic folk LP.


Free Association: If you’re looking for a soundtrack to your autumnal solitude, this is it.


For Fans Of: Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Panda Bear x Rogue Wave, NW doom & gloom.


Lil Wayne 


Sorry 4 The Wait Mixtape


(N/A)


Sounds Like: With Tha Carter IV getting pushed back, Wayne gives us 12 studio farts with lots of references to pussy, money and jail.


Free Association: He says “Sorry 4 The Wait” about 25 times, so he must really mean it.


For Fans Of: T.I. x Wale + Master P, “6 Foot, 7 Foot,” 
stank grills, dope dickweed.
