Happy Friday! Avid readers of the site may have noticed that the Friday editions of Pick Your Poison have been largely absent these last few weeks, and on that point I’d like to address why. Simply put, the content isn’t always up to the level that I feel warrants a Friday post. I try to keep a relatively fixed number of tracks in each daily edition of Pick Your Poison, and Fridays are typically slower days where I don’t get sent so much and what gets sent isn’t always anything worth writing or posting about. So basically, if I’m not satisfied with what I’ve got to offer you, I won’t offer it. Not that those tracks that don’t get used are discarded, but I like to filter them in other spots where the quality is often already higher. So as a means of quality control, please keep in mind that there might be weeks without a Friday Pick Your Poison. This week is obviously not one of them. There’s actually quite a few excellent songs in this batch, and I’m happy to recommend songs from Baobab, Georgia’s Horse, The Gorgeous Hands, GRMLN, Heliotropes, Last Days of 1984 and Sheare. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream Atoms for Peace’s remix of Four Tet, and new tracks from Matthew Herbert, Phaseone and an acoustic cut from thenewno2. Have a great weekend!
