Pick Your Poison: Monday 1-7-19

::Cracks knuckles:: ::stretches:: ::yawns:: Ohhh hey, we’re back! Welcome to 2019, and all of the greatness a fresh year can provide! I’m more than pleased to kick off the year with an extended edition of Pick Your Poison, which is just a roundabout way of saying you get song downloads AND streams in one gigantic mixtape of sorts. Let’s get started with mp3s from Autechre, Blake Banks, Memory Keepers (covering Brian Eno), and Young Hunting. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, you can stream more songs from Black Pistol Fire, Craig Brown Band, Good Gas (ft. 0k.Caash, G.U.N & FKi 1st), Jhené Aiko, Manics, Mark Diamond, MIKE, Miss Grit, Spielbergs, Valee (ft. DRAM), Yoste, and Young & Sick.

As Christmas week is fast approaching and the year-end “best of” lists get finalized here at Faronheit, I’m pleased to bring you this final edition of Pick Your Poison for 2018. Have no fear, there will be plenty more new music to share once 2019 is underway. I’ll do my best to continue to provide it to you in a neat and orderly fashion. The business at hand today focuses on tracks from Autechre, Quinn XCII (ft. Noah Kahan), and Summer Heart (in winter, no less!). Then cap off the year with some extra song streams after the jump from 12Honcho, Amethysts, Dead Swords, Kid Koala, Ten Fe, Tristan Eckerson, Yung Gravy (ft. Lil Baby), plus a couple of solid remixes. Have a great rest of 2019, and we’ll be back in PYP action in the first or second week of January!

Pick Your Poison: Tuesday 12-4-18

As December rolls around and we officially enter into the final stretch of the year, things tend to get quiet in the world of new music. Everybody’s focused on year-end recaps and lists (including this site!), so not many artists want to interrupt that process by trying to release new tracks and generally promote records unless they’re already looking to 2019. My point is it gets tougher to share songs with you when there aren’t as many coming out. Expect a slowdown in Pick Your Poison posts for the next few weeks, but I’ll keep getting fresh music to you whenever the opportunity presents itself. Today’s highlights come from Czarface, who teams up with Ghostface for an interesting track. Murray A. Lightburn of The Dears also gives us another track from his solo record, and Toro y Moi brings some day-glo dance beats in one of his more exciting tracks in recent years. After the jump, there’s even more music from Big Wild, Danileigh, Inspired & the Sleep, Iris Gold, Kakkmaddafakka, Luvia, Ohtis, Semi Precious, and TULA.

Czarface – Iron Claw (ft. Ghostface)

Murray A. Lightburn – Changed My Ways

Toro y Moi – Ordinary Pleasure

Pick Your Poison: Thursday 11-29-18

We’ll finally be getting Alice Merton’s debut album early next year, but to tide us over until then, she’s provided a new song that’s at the top of today’s Pick Your Poison highlights. Because December kicks off on Saturday and we’re officially in the Christmas season, I hope you’ll enjoy The Beths’ take on a festive classic. Plus, Grace Weber managed to recruit Vic Mensa for a pretty fantastic new one as well. Sail beyond the jump, and you’ll find songs from Baby Goth (ft. Trippie Redd & Lil Xan), Cheat Codes (ft. Kim Petras), Elderbrook, Fredfades & Jawn Rice (ft. Lucid Paradise), Murlo, Toby Green, Tony Romiti (ft. Russ), and more!

Pick Your Poison: Wednesday 11-28-18

It’s been a week since the last edition of Pick Your Poison, and I’m not happy about it. But there’s not a whole lot I can do when the music gods go silent for a period. Call it a consequence of the holidays. Thankfully there are some really great new tracks in this set to help make the wait feel worth it. That includes highlights from Balms, the return of Gesaffelstein, and a white hot cut from Kllo. Cruise on past the jump and you’ll find even more music from Dahlia Sleeps, Henry Jamison, ISLAND, Jake Miller, Kinder, Tanners, Yung Baby Tate, a Skrillex remix of Travis Scott’s latest single, and more!

It’s a quieter week due to the Thanksgiving holiday, but I wanted to share this collection of tracks to help soundtrack your extended break and time with family. To start, there’s a pretty great remix of Amine’s “Reel It In” with a guest verse from Gucci Mane. Something fresh from Earl Sweatshirt (ft. Navy Blue) teases his new album that’ll be out next Friday. And hey, let’s add a wonderful Shay Lia track as well for good measure. After the jump, you’ll find even more to be thankful for, including songs from Balthazar, Bjarki, Daisy Maybe x Skepta, DJ Nu-Mark (ft. Method Man), FUR, Hajk, Perfect Body, and Silverbacks.

Pick Your Poison: Wednesday 11-14-18

What are your plans for this February? It’s the middle of winter and you’re probably going to be bundled up somewhere avoiding the snow and cold, right? At least that’s likely to be the case if you’re in Chicago or any other chilly region of the world. Well that gets a little boring after awhile, so allow me to recommend an activity. Brand new for 2019, the folks at Pitchfork and the Art Institute of Chicago are putting on a 3-day (thankfully indoor) music and art festival. Appropriately titled Midwinter, it takes place from February 15-17 at the Art Institute of Chicago. The museum will be open with all of the artwork on display, plus all kinds of special installations and live performances to stimulate the senses.

The lineup includes notable names like Slowdive, Kamasi Washington, Panda Bear, Tortoise, Deerhunter, Oneohtrix Point Never, Laurie Anderson, Perfume Genius, Zola Jesus, Joey Purp, Hiss Golden Messenger, and many more. Experimental artist William Basinski will perform his seminal The Disintegration Loops record in collaboration with the Chicago Philharmonic. Plus artists like Haley Fohr (of Circuit des Yeux) and Mary Lattimore will be on hand all three days for some special sets. Then there are the original gallery sound compositions from people like Nico Muhly, Tashi Wada & Julia Holter, Stars of the Lid, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, and Helado Negro that will be playing to accompany some of the artwork and gallery sections. Overall it promises to be a highly creative and sometimes strange experience, so I hope you’ll consider coming out for it.

Get all the lineup details and a schedule by going to the Midwinter site. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10AM CT, and are $50 for a single day and $128 for a 3-day base ticket. A base ticket provides access to the Art Institute and most of its galleries, plus select performances. Each night also features several “add-on” shows, each costing between $15-30, that will need to be purchased in addition to the base ticket if you want to attend. The whole thing can get a little pricey if you want to go all-out and see most things, but if you do it right I’m convinced it’ll be an unforgettable time.

Now then, about today’s Pick Your Poison. There are some great tracks from Com Truise, actor/writer/director Noel Wells, and Tiny Ruins to kick things off. Skip past the jump for even more music from Anemone, Darci, Escort, Gunnar Gehl, Jesse Jo Stark, Low Tape, mxmtoon, Shadowgraphs, and $uicideboy$.

Noel Wells – Sunrise

Tiny Ruins – School of Design
